DIN TERMINAL BLOCKS
Interconnecting/Bussing Accessories
INTERCONNECTION
Adjoining or non-adjoining terminal
blocks can be connected together in
a variety of ways:
Pre-Assembled Shorting Links
A pre-assembled bus bar which sits in
a protective well in the top center of
the terminal block, runs the length of
the block group to be interconnected,
and is electrically and mechanically
connected to each block in the group
by means of a secure screw connec-
tion. The bars are utilized in conjunc-
tion with threaded screw and spacer
elements which clamp the bus bar
directly to the current bar of the
terminal block. Terminal blocks are
included in the bussed group by
utilizing the screw/spacer to connect
them to the bus bar. Terminal blocks
which are not part of the bussed
group are simply not connected to
the bus bar. Therefore, it is possible
to create a bussed group which
"bridges" certain blocks.
Links are available in both insulated
and uninsulated designs, are supplied
in 2-3-4 and 10 position lengths, and
can be readily cut to desired length.
See individual product pages for spe-
cific recommendations.
Side Jumper
An insulated “comb” side jumper
which runs the length of the block
group and locks into the wire holes
can also be used. These jumpers are

also available in 2-3-4-10 position
lengths, and can be readily cut to
desired length and inserted into the
wire entry hole. If it is desired to skip
or "bridge" one or more blocks in a
sequence, the appropriate contact
elements can be removed. See prod-
uct pages for specific recommenda-
tions.
Permanent Shorting Bars
Tin-plated copper/brass bus links,
which rest below the top surface of
the terminal blocks are used with
sleeves and mounting screws to
achieve a permanent cross connec-
tion. Bars are available in 2-3-4-10
position lengths, and may be cut to
size. For switchable connections, two
position removable shorting links are
available. Sleeves and screws are
ordered separately. Please contact
Amphenol Pcd for ordering details.
Test Sockets
Test sockets are used for checking out
circuits. The test socket screws into a
tapped hole in the terminal block cur-
rent bar, and accepts a standard test
plug. Sockets can be left permanently
in place, or only used as required.
Contact Amphenol Pcd for specific
recommendations.
Shorting Links for Spring Clamp
Blocks
Insulated, two-position push-in links
are utilized to bus adjacent spring
clamp blocks on a track assembly.
Alternate links perform the same func-
tion, but the contact spacing is
designed for alternate (non-consecu-
tive) blocks. Wired shorting links will
connect any two blocks spaced up to
ten positions apart. Recommendations
in catalog.
Shorting links for Stud-Mount Blocks
Insulated and uninsulated links, per-
manent (ring tongue) and removable
(fork tongue), available in 2-3-4 posi-
tions. Details on Stud-Mount Block
