Product Information
Full details
This nVent ERIFLEX blue distribution terminal block is designed for electricians and panel builders needing a reliable way to consolidate multiple conductors. Its key benefit is efficient wire management, allowing for a single input to distribute power to numerous circuits. A caveat is that it requires specific conductor sizes and a secure screw termination, demanding careful installation.

FAQs
What is the maximum current this terminal block can handle?
The maximum current is 100A, with a maximum rated current of 125A.
What types of conductors can be used with this block?
It accepts solid and stranded copper conductors with sizes ranging from 8 to 2 AWG (equivalent to approximately 8.37 mm² to 33.6 mm²).
Does this terminal block include a PE or N rail?
No, this distribution block does not include a PE-rail or N-rail.
What is the termination method?
The termination method is screw.
What are the dimensions of the terminal block?
The dimensions are Height: 50 mm, Width: 162 mm, Depth: 50 mm.
What is the housing material?
The housing material is Polyamide.
How many input and output terminals are available?
There is one input terminal for 10-35mm² conductors and a total of 14 output terminals: 11 for 2.5-6mm² conductors and 3 for 10-25mm² conductors.
Troubleshooting
Overheating at terminals
Check that conductor sizes are within the specified range. Ensure screws are torqued to the correct specification. Verify that the total current draw does not exceed the 100A limit.
Loose connections
Re-tighten screw terminals with a torque screwdriver to the recommended setting. Ensure conductors are properly stripped and inserted fully into the terminal.
Difficulty inserting wires
Confirm that the wire gauge is compatible with the terminal size. Ensure the wire end is clean and not frayed. For larger conductors, pre-tinning might be necessary if recommended by specific electrical codes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficiently distributes a single power input to multiple outputs.
- Accommodates a wide range of conductor sizes.
- Durable Polyamide housing ensures longevity.
- High current rating suitable for substantial loads.
- Secure screw termination method.
Cons
- Requires specific tools for secure screw termination.
- Does not include integrated PE or N rails.
- Installation requires adherence to specific wire gauge and termination guidelines.
- Limited to 2 poles, not suitable for multi-phase distribution without multiple units.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the power source is de-energized before installation.
- Select appropriate conductors within the specified AWG or mm² range (8-2 AWG or 2.5-35 mm²).
- Strip wire ends to the correct length as recommended for screw terminals.
- Insert conductors into the appropriate input (10-35 mm²) and output (2.5-6 mm² or 10-25 mm²) terminals.
- Using a torque screwdriver, tighten the screw terminals to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification to ensure a secure connection.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with solid and stranded copper conductors within the specified size range.
- Suitable for use in electrical enclosures and control panels.
- Can be mounted on standard DIN rails or directly to a panel using appropriate mounting methods (not included).
Care:
- Periodically inspect screw terminals for tightness, especially in environments with vibration.
- Keep the terminal block clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using solvents or water.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the terminal block to prevent overheating.
