Product Information
Full details
This Legrand LEXIC terminal block (model 004832) is designed for electricians and electrical professionals needing a reliable earth connection point in distribution systems. Its key benefit is providing multiple, touch-safe connection points for various wire sizes, ensuring safety and compliance with IEC 60998-2-1 standards. A potential caveat is its IP20 rating, meaning it's not suitable for wet or dusty environments without additional protection.

FAQs
What is the maximum current rating for this terminal block?
The Legrand LEXIC 004832 has a maximum current rating of 100 A when used with a 25 mm² inlet, and 80 A when used with a 16 mm² inlet.
What wire sizes can be connected to this terminal block?
It provides 8 connections for wires ranging from 1.5 mm² to 16 mm². The main inlet can accommodate up to 25 mm².
Is this terminal block suitable for outdoor use?
No, this terminal block has an IP20 rating, which means it is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm but not against water. It must be installed in an enclosure that protects it from moisture and dust.
How do I mount this terminal block?
It can be mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail using a universal support (e.g., Legrand Cat.No 0 048 11) or on a 12x2 flat bar.
What does 'touch-safe' mean for this product?
'Touch-safe' refers to its IP2X rating, meaning the internal conductive parts are protected from accidental contact by fingers or objects, enhancing electrical safety.
What standard does this terminal block comply with?
It complies with the IEC 60998-2-1 standard for connecting electrical accessories using screw-type clamping units.
What is the operating temperature range?
The operating temperature range for this terminal block is from -5°C to +40°C.
Troubleshooting
Terminal block not making a good connection
Ensure the wire is stripped correctly and inserted fully into the terminal. Tighten the screw firmly. Check that the wire size is within the specified range for that terminal.
Overheating at connection point
Verify the current draw does not exceed the terminal's rating (80A or 100A depending on inlet size). Ensure screw is properly tightened. Check wire gauge suitability. If the problem persists, replace the terminal block.
Difficulty mounting on DIN rail
Ensure you are using a compatible DIN rail (35mm) and the correct mounting support accessory if required. Check for any obstructions on the rail or the terminal block's mounting mechanism.
Pros and Cons

- Screws are supplied untightened, requiring initial setup.
- Limited to a maximum operating temperature of +40°C.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the terminal block is mounted securely on a standard DIN rail using the appropriate support (e.g., Legrand Cat.No 0 048 11) or on a 12x2 flat bar.
- Strip the insulation from the earth wires to the appropriate length as per wire size specifications.
- Insert the conductor into the designated terminal and tighten the screw firmly using a suitable screwdriver. Ensure all screws are tightened before energizing the circuit.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with conductors ranging from 1.5 mm² to 16 mm², with inlet options for up to 25 mm².
- Designed for DIN rail (35mm) mounting.
- Suitable for use in systems with a maximum voltage of 400 V~.
Care:
- Keep the terminal block clean and free from dust and debris. A dry cloth is usually sufficient.
- Periodically check screw tightness, especially after initial installation or significant temperature fluctuations.
- Ensure the enclosure provides adequate protection against dust and moisture (IP20 rating).
- Operate within the specified temperature range of -5°C to +40°C.
