Product Information
Full details
The Hager QuickConnect Terminal KN26E is designed for electricians and installers working on residential and commercial electrical distribution boards. Its key benefit is providing a compact, tool-free, and reliable grounding solution for solid wires up to 4 mm², simplifying installations and saving space. A potential caveat is its specific suitability for PE (protective earth) earthing applications and solid wire types.

The Hager KN26E terminal block has a rated current of 63A.
Can this terminal block be used for neutral or live connections?
No, this terminal block is specifically designed for Protective Earth (PE) or grounding applications only.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
No, the QuickConnect feature allows for tool-free insertion of solid wires up to 4 mm².
What are the dimensions of the KN26E?
The terminal block is 105mm wide.
How many connections does this terminal block provide?
The KN26E provides 26 connection points.
Is this terminal block suitable for outdoor use?
This terminal block is designed for use within electrical distribution boards and is not rated for direct outdoor exposure without appropriate enclosure.
Troubleshooting
Wire will not insert into the terminal.
Ensure you are using a solid conductor wire. Check that the wire is stripped to the correct length and that no stray strands are obstructing the terminal. Verify the wire gauge does not exceed 4 mm².
Loose connection detected.
Carefully remove the wire and re-insert it, ensuring it is fully seated within the terminal. If the issue persists, inspect the wire end for damage or deformation. Consider using a new section of wire.
Terminal block does not fit the mounting rail.
Verify that your distribution board uses a standard mounting rail compatible with 105mm wide terminal blocks. Ensure no obstructions are present on the rail.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Quick and easy installation due to tool-free connection
- Space-efficient design ideal for modern distribution boards
- Clear labeling reduces potential for wiring mistakes
- Robust construction ensures reliable grounding connections
- High rated current capacity suitable for main earthing
Cons
- Primarily designed for solid wires; stranded wires may require additional connectors
- Limited to PE (protective earth) applications
- Specific dimensions (105mm width) may impact fitting in very compact enclosures
- Color coding is standard and may require reference for specific regional codes if deviations exist
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the distribution board has a suitable mounting rail for terminal blocks.
- Identify the PE (green/yellow) connection points on your wiring.
- For solid conductors up to 4 mm², strip the wire insulation to the appropriate length (refer to installation manual if available).
- Insert the solid conductor directly into the designated terminal opening until it is securely seated.
- Repeat for all required PE connections.
Compatibility:
- Designed for use in standard European distribution boards.
- Compatible with solid copper conductors up to 4 mm².
- Rated for a maximum current of 63A.
- Primarily intended for Protective Earth (PE) applications.
Care:
- Keep the terminal block clean and free from dust and debris.
- Periodically inspect connections for any signs of damage or corrosion (annual electrical inspection recommended).
- Avoid exposing the terminal block to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
