Product Information
Full details
This Phoenix Contact UK fuse clamp (MPN 3005109) is designed for electrical professionals needing a reliable way to house and monitor 5 x 20 mm fuses. Its key benefit is the integrated viewing window in the screw cap, allowing for quick identification of tripped fuses, saving valuable diagnostic time. A potential caveat is its specific fuse size compatibility, requiring users to ensure their application uses 5 x 20 mm fuses. This single-level, screw-down terminal block offers a secure connection for up to 6 AWG wire, with a 10A current and 500V voltage rating.

FAQs
What size fuses does this clamp accommodate?
This Phoenix Contact UK fuse clamp is specifically designed for 5 x 20 mm fuses.
How can I tell if the fuse has blown?
The clamp features a viewing window on the screw cap. If the fuse has blown, this window will typically show a visible indication, often a discolored fuse element or a popped telltale indicator if the fuse is so equipped.
What is the maximum wire size supported?
The screw-down terminals on this clamp can accommodate wire sizes up to 6 AWG.
What are the electrical ratings of this fuse clamp?
The clamp is rated for a maximum current of 10 Amperes and a maximum voltage of 500 Volts.
Can I use this clamp for fuses with a telltale?
Yes, the clamp is suitable for use with fuses that have a telltale indicator.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
This product is designed for use within electrical enclosures and control panels. Specific environmental protection ratings are not provided; consult the product datasheet for suitability in harsh environments.
How do I mount this fuse clamp?
This is a screw-down termination terminal block, designed to be mounted onto a DIN rail or directly into an enclosure via its base, using appropriate screws (not included).
Troubleshooting
Fuse clamp not holding fuse securely
Ensure a 5 x 20 mm fuse is used. Check for any debris inside the clamp mechanism and ensure the screw cap is fully tightened.
Viewing window is unclear or scratched
Gently clean the window with a dry, lint-free cloth. If significantly scratched, consider replacing the fuse clamp.
Terminal screws will not tighten
Verify that the wire gauge is within the supported range (up to 6 AWG). Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the screw thread.
Fuse blows repeatedly
This indicates an overcurrent issue in the protected circuit, not a fault with the fuse clamp itself. Investigate the connected load and circuit for faults or excessive demand.
