High temperature internal and external terminal blocks

Finding the right terminal blocks for high temperature applications can be  a challenge for machine designers, especially for those designing commercial or industrial ovens or the large range cookers that have become so popular in recent years.  To help overcome the challenge Hylec-APL has developed a range of products  specifically for commercial and domestic appliances that operate at high heat, and they have now been made available. 

Screw-to-tab terminal block models with between 2 and 7 poles are available in the Hylec FV Series, which operates at temperatures from – 5°Celsius to +150°Celsius. The voltage is 450V, and the current between 25A and 41A depending on the model.  There are devices in the FV Series specifically designed to suit ceramic hobs, electric hobs, ovens and gas hobs, motors and pumps, as well as general appliances.  

The PA Family of terminal blocks with integrated cable clamps includes Series PA84 that includes an earth bracket version and also a fuse holder version, both available with or without screws.  Rated at 450V, 16A, it offers working temperature ranges from -5°Celsius to +110°Celsius.  These models are stated to suit small appliances for the domestic market as well as professional appliances. For gas hobs, PA299 and PA299C are snap-in fixing on chassis terminal blocks with integrated cable clamps, earth brackets and an RF filter and can withstand working temperatures of +125°Celsius. 

Terminal boxes for gas hobs, electric hobs, ovens and industrial applications are available in multiple styles including Series PA309 with integrated cable clamp and earth bracket for gas hobs, and Series PA233SN with an integrated cable clamp and grounding plate for electric hobs and ovens.  The devices are IP30 rated and also VDE approved.
