Junction terminal blocks

Innovative solutions by reducing wiring work using a wide selection.

  • Before
    t_066_750.png
    Retightening the screws is required at maintenance work.
  • After
    t_067_750.png
    • Easy push-in connection
    • Retightening the screws is not required at maintenance work

Optimum connection method

The connection method can be changed to the optimum connection method, such as using the spring clamp terminal block, selected from a wide selection.

Feature of connection method

Model list
  • Spring clamp terminal block
    t12_750.png
    • Push-in connection does not require screwdrivers. (Significant reduction for wiring work)
    • Reliable connections (No need for the screw tightening skill)
    • No need for screw retightening (Easier maintenance)
  • Cable with spring clamp terminal block
    t_007_750.png
    • Wiring work for the programmable controllers with spring clamp terminal blocks is reduced by 99%.
    • Cables do not need to be terminated or wired to the terminal block individually because the ferrules have already been attached to the cables.
    • Cables are selectable by the type (discrete cable type or connector type), ampere capacity, and number of pins.
  • Screw terminal block
    t13_750.png
    • Easy wiring with round terminals by falling prevention screw mechanism
    • Electric shock prevention by a finger protection
    • M3.5 screw type supports thick wires.
  • e-CON, one-touch connector
    t14_750.png
    • No need for stripping wires
  • Discrete cable (device directly connected)
    t15_750.png
    • Directly connecting to a device is available.
    • Selectable from unprocessed solderless terminals, Y-shaped solderless terminals, or round solderless terminals
    • Available for non-Mitsubishi PLCs

Connection method according to device specifications

Model list
1-wire type
t16_1174.png
A terminal block is connected to a limit switch or load using one wire. However, a common terminal is required.
  • 1-wire type + common terminal block
    t17_1174.png
    2-wire or 3-wire type is available with the use of 1-wire type junction terminal block.
2-wire type
t18_1174.png
A terminal block is connected to a limit switch or load using two wires.
Since a terminal block for the common wiring is not required, switches or loads can be installed at a distance from one another.
(This can be used as 1-wire type.)
  • 3-wire type
    t19_1174.png
    A terminal block is connected to sensors using three wires.
    Since a terminal block for the common wiring is not required, sensors can be installed at a distance from one another.
    (This can be used as 1-wire type or 2-wire type.)

Easy wiring, reducing wiring time

Dedicated cables and junction terminal blocks applicable to each module are available so that optimum system can be configured and wiring work can be reduced by one-touch connection between the programmable controller and the junction terminal block.
Our lineup includes cables for terminal block modules, cables with shielded and ferrite cores for noise immunity, and cables for assembled positioning modules that eliminate complex fabrication.

• Wiring work for the programmable controller modules with a spring clamp terminal block is reduced by 99%.
• Cables do not need to be terminated or wired to the terminal block individually because the ferrules have already been attached to the cables.
• Cables are selectable by the type (discrete cable type or connector type), ampere capacity, and number of pins.
  • Cable with connectors
    t_068_750.png
    We offer a full lineup of FCN, MIL, D-Sub, and other connectors for programmable controllers.
  • Cable for assembled positioning module
    t_069_750.png
    No need to make complex positioning module cables.
  • Cables for terminal block module
    t_083_750.png
  • Cable with Shielded Ferrite Core
    t_082_750.png
  • No need for wiring check
    t24_750.png
    The dedicated cable is already assembled.
    Wiring check per point, which is required for constructed cables, is not required.
  • Cable length customization

    *: For information on other cables, please consult your local Mitsubishi representative.
    (Please contact your local Mitsubishi representative for information on applicable models and maximum cable length.)

Dedicated cables and junction terminal blocks for each module

For I/O, analog, thermocouple, RTD, and temperature control modules

For positioning modules

Wiring for a positioning module that requires complicated processing can be easily connected to a servo amplifier using the assembled cable.

Selection using a junction terminal block (spring clamp terminal type)

Wires are pushed into the terminals of a spring clamp terminal block without tightening screws. Retightening is not required, reducing the time required for maintenance.

Space saving

Features of spring clamp terminal block

  • Easy wiring
    t37_750.png
    Push-in connections significantly reduce wiring work time.
    * Comparison against non-experts (2 years of experience; per survey conducted by the Japan Switchboard & Control System Industries Association)
  • Stable connection
    t38_750.png
    No risk of loosening due to vibration. Consistent connection quality is assured.
  • Easy maintenance
    t39_750.png
    Maintenance can be performed easily as screw-tightening work is not required. Rewiring is also easy with push-in connections.
