Terminal Blocks, Type AB1
Insulation displacement technology,
type AB1AA
AB1AA terminal blocks use insulation displacement technology, which eliminates the
need to strip wires prior to assembly.
AB1AA terminal blocks are made of polyamide 6.6, the same material as screw and
spring terminal blocks.
Two widths are available :
b 5 mm for a wire size of 18–30 AWG (0.2–1 mm²)
b 6 mm for a wire size of 14–18 AWG (1–2.5 mm²)
Various colors are available—red, blue, black, and yellow/green—depending on the
application where the terminal block is used.
Insulation displacement technology offers the following advantages:
b Fast installation: 60% time savings
b No need to strip or crimp wires
b No special tools required
b Resistance to vibrations, since the technology does not rely on screws that can
come loose
The following products are available, depending on the application:
b Passthrough
b Grounding
b Double deck
b Blade disconnect
b Plug-in disconnect
Installation of these terminal blocks is carried out in three stages:
b Cutting the wire to the required length and, without stripping it, inserting it into the
wire guide
b Inserting a screwdriver into the hole provided
b Lifting the screwdriver toward the center of the terminal block. The test point
checks that contact has been made
Recommendations for installation :
b Use a 3–3.5 mm standard, flat screwdriver.
b Insert the screwdriver fully into its guide.
b Cut off the end of the wire if a new connection is to be made.
b UL 1059 specifies that insulation displacement terminal blocks may be reused
10 times.
AB1AA insulation displacement terminal blocks use the same accessories as spring
terminal blocks:
