Product Information
Full details
The Phoenix Contact FBS 2-12 plug-in bridge is designed for electricians and control cabinet builders needing to efficiently link modular terminal blocks. Its key benefit is rapid, reliable bridging of up to 50 terminal blocks in a single step, saving significant installation time. A minor caveat is its specific 12mm pitch, requiring compatibility with matching terminal blocks.

Troubleshooting
Bridge not seating correctly
Verify that the terminal blocks have the correct 12mm pitch and are properly aligned. Ensure no debris is obstructing the bridge shafts or the bridge contacts.
Intermittent connection or poor conductivity
Check for proper seating of the bridge into the terminal blocks. Inspect the bridge and terminal block contacts for any signs of damage or contamination and clean if necessary.
Overheating during operation
Confirm that the current draw does not exceed the bridge's rated capacity of 76A. Ensure all connections are secure and that the terminal blocks are adequately sized for the application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the FBS 2-12, ensure the terminal blocks are properly seated and aligned. The plug-in bridge simply pushes into the designated bridge shafts on compatible terminal blocks until it clicks into place. Ensure firm contact.
Compatibility: This bridge is designed for terminal blocks with a 12mm pitch. It is part of the Phoenix Contact CLIPLINE complete system and is generally compatible with other Phoenix Contact modular terminal blocks featuring the appropriate bridging system.
Care: The FBS 2-12 requires minimal care. Keep the contact surfaces of the bridge and terminal blocks clean and free from debris. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive materials. Ensure the product is not exposed to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures outside its operating range.
