FAQs

What is the maximum conductor size this terminal block can accept?

The terminal block has two entries that can accept conductors up to 25mm² and eight entries that can accept conductors up to 4mm².

What type of DIN rail is required for mounting?

This terminal block is designed for mounting on a standard 35mm top hat (TS35) DIN rail.

What is the rated voltage and current for this terminal block?

The HENSEL FC N 10 is rated for a maximum voltage of 690V and a maximum current of 101A.

Can solid and fine-strand conductors be used?

Yes, it supports solid-core, fine-strand without cable end sleeve, fine-strand with cable end sleeve, and multi-wired conductors within the specified cross-section ranges.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operational temperature range for this terminal block is -40°C to 40°C.

How many connection points are available per pole?

There are 10 clamp positions available per pole.

What material is the insulation body made of?

The insulation body is made of thermoplastic material.

Troubleshooting

Connection is loose

Ensure the conductor is fully inserted and the screw terminal is tightened securely. For fine-strand conductors, verify if using a cable end sleeve is appropriate and properly applied.

Terminal block won't mount on DIN rail

Verify that the DIN rail is indeed a 35mm standard and that the mounting mechanism on the terminal block is not obstructed or damaged.

Overheating at connection point

Check that the conductor size is within the specified range for the terminal. Ensure the screw is tightened adequately and that the conductor is making good contact. If the load exceeds the rated current (101A), reduce the load or use a higher-rated terminal block.

Damage to insulation body

Handle the terminal block with care during installation. If the thermoplastic insulation is cracked or damaged, do not use the unit and replace it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates efficient and organized wiring, reducing assembly time.
  • Accommodates a broad spectrum of conductor sizes within a single unit.
  • High current and voltage ratings make it suitable for robust applications.
  • Designed for easy integration into standard electrical enclosures via DIN rail mounting.
  • Durable materials ensure longevity and safety in operational environments.

Cons

  • Requires a 35mm DIN rail for mounting, limiting use in non-standard setups.
  • The plug-in connection type (Type 2) is not detailed, requiring further clarification for specific uses.
  • Operational temperature range is limited to 40°C, which might be a constraint in extremely hot environments.
  • Color is specified as blue, which may not fit all aesthetic requirements for panel building.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure a 35mm DIN rail is securely mounted in the desired location.
  2. Slide the HENSEL FC N 10 terminal block onto the DIN rail until it locks into place.
  3. Prepare conductors by stripping them to the appropriate length as per connection type.
  4. Insert conductors into the designated entry ports (2 x 25mm², 8 x 4mm²).
  5. Tighten the screw connections firmly to secure the conductors. Ensure no stray strands are present.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard 35mm top hat (TS35) DIN rails.
  • Suitable for conductors ranging from 1.5mm² to 25mm² (solid, fine-strand without sleeve, fine-strand with sleeve, or multi-wired).
  • Rated for 690V and 101A.

Care:

  • Keep the terminal block clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Periodically check screw connections for tightness, especially in environments with significant vibration.
  • Avoid exposing the terminal block to temperatures outside its operational range of -40°C to 40°C.
  • Use only as specified for electrical connections; do not use for non-electrical purposes.
