Phoenix Contact PIT (Push-In Terminal) Terminal Blocks | |
 Push-in Terminal Blocks (PIT)
Make wiring easier!
New Push-In Terminal Blocks (PIT) use push-in technology to reduce insertion forces by 50 percent compared with other spring-technology products.
The modular PIT terminal blocks are easy to operate and reduce fatigue. They are ideal for installations with limited space or hard-to-access wiring.
Available in a 2.5 mm2 cross section, the PIT series accepts ferrules between 22 AWG and 14 AWG. The orange actuation button opens the spring to the maximum wiring space of 14 AWG, resulting in fast, easy-to-access wiring and touch-proof safety. The universal button is compatible with any type of tool, even a pen. |
| Schneider Electric Enclosed Altistart 22 Soft Start/Soft Stop Motor Controller | |
The Enclosed Altistart 22 solid-state combination motor controllers provide a pre-engineered, integrated solution for reduced voltage starting and soft stopping of standard three-phase asynchronous induction (squirrel cage) motors. The enclosed controllers consist of a circuit breaker disconnect and an Altistart 22 soft starter in a stand-alone enclosure.
With its energy efficient features, such as reduced current inrush, reduced voltage drop and mechanical shocks, the Enclosed Altistart 22 controller offers an ideal solution for your basic motor control needs, including:
- A six thyristor (SCR) solid-state power configuration providing smooth acceleration and deceleration control of three-phase squirrel cage motors
- Control algorithms that are integrated to ensure smooth rotation throughout the starting ramp without mechanical instability at the end of starting
- An integral shorting contactor to reduce steady state controller operational losses
Achieve greater energy efficiency with simple system integration and control
- Integrated bypass reduces the number of external components: power wiring, contactor and control wiring for coil
- Wiring six terminals instead of twelve saves time and money
- Integrated bypass contactor decreases heat dissipation, allowing for a smaller enclosure
- Conformal coated printed circuit boards provide enhanced resistance to harsh environments, increasing the service life of your installation and reducing maintenance costs
Additional Applications
- Production Machines
- Dryers, Extruders
- Aerators
- Air Handlers
Applications
- Pumping
- HVAC
- Packaging
- Agitator, Mixer

Rittal Corporation Introduces New Generation of TopTherm Filter Fan Units |
 Rittal Corporation introduced a new generation of TopTherm filter fan units designed to allow for the complete installation, maintenance and configuration without tools. This complete TopTherm line of fan and filter units is designed to meet 21st century demands with the latest in technology and efficiency.
Due to its proprietary quick-fit technology, TopTherm filter fans easily snap into prepared mounting cutouts. For an easy transition, the new filter fans are compatible with mounting cutouts of existing Rittal filter fans. Reversing the fan motors to change the airflow direction is just as easy. Power connections can be positioned as required for easy wiring and spring clamp terminals make power installation a no-tool process. The louvered grill latches for easy access so filter mat replacement is quick and efficient, again eliminating the need for tools.
The new lineup of filter fans is available in capacities from 12 to 424 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a full range of voltages. The new diagonal fan motor design provides greater pressure stability, which results in a higher and more constant airflow, even if a filter mat is contaminated. Airflow spreads diagonally from the fan promoting a more even air distribution throughout an enclosure. The new design enhances installation at minimum depths also and helps to extend the life of the filter materials.
Rittal filter fans utilize the standard foam-in-place gasket so they easily maintain the UL Type 12 or IP 54 integrity of an enclosure without the additional use of screws. The new filter fan line is easily upgraded to IP 55 through the additional use of fine filter mats. And, newly designed rainproof shrouds provide an easy upgrade to a UL Type 3R/4(X) or IP 56 rating.
Efficient technology
- Air throughput from 12 - 424 cfm (20 to 700 m³/h)
- New diagonal fan technology for greater pressure stability and constant air flow when installed, even with a contaminated filter mat
- Reduced installation depth
- Flow-optimized air routing
- Extended service life of filter mats and thus longer maintenance intervals
- UL Type 12 (IP 54) out of the box
- All fan models available with EMC shielding
Additional environmental protection
- Hose-proof hoods prevent the entry of water
- Ratings of up to UL Type 4X are achieved with addition of hood
