Power Distribution Blocks and Terminals of FTG
FTG offers a wide range of electrical installation material such as terminals and terminal blocks. This includes the following groups:
Power Distribution Blocks
The PDB+ range is UL 1953 listed with a maximum operating voltage of 1,000 V AC / DC. These products have many innovative refinements like:
– adjustable dial for phase selection L1 L2 L3
– DIN rail locking clip
– Incoming cable safety slide to insure IP20
There is also a range of four pole PDBs up to 160A with an innovative locking clip for DIN rails. A fifth block can be added as a separate polarity or to complete the neutral bar if more outputs are required. The maximum operating voltage is 690 V AC according to IEC 60947-7-1
– can be stringed together
– one to four pole PDBs
– numerous outlets
– compact and finger-safe
– PDBs for copper conductors and PDBs for copper or aluminum conductors
– UL certification on various designs
– easy installation
Transfer Terminal KVIAC
The KVIAC terminals are compact distributors for copper and aluminum cables. Their extremely compact design ensures space-saving installation on DIN rails or directly on the back panel. With the finger-safe design, protection class IP20 can be achieved. These are designed for one to five entrances and exits and offer space for conductor cross-sections between 1.5 and 240 sqmm.
– max.operating voltage of 1000V AC / DC
– Colors: gray, blue, yellow-green, red, black
– partly listed according to UL
– Accessories: contact protection for 50, 95, 150 and 240 sqmm
– Contact grease is required for a connection with an aluminum cable (# PFT100 – # PFT200). The calcium / acid protection grease creates an optimal connection between the conductor and the terminal.
Main Branch Terminal HLAK
The main branch terminals HLAK, are one of the standard products of every electrician, as they are variable in use and space-saving at the same time. The HLAKs distribute main lines to other distributors, outlets to fuse elements and to line circuit breakers or FI circuit breakers.
– finger-safe and completely closed
– Universal quick fastening horizontally and vertically for 35 mm DIN rails
– 1- to 5-pole version
– Insulating body made of polyamide with high tracking resistance

Connection Terminal LPDB
Possible uses of the LPDB connection terminal
LPDB, the Lighting Power Distribution Block, was originally developed for street lights. The connection terminal can, however, be used in a completely different way.
The basic principle of the terminal is the further connection from one point to the next in order to create an electrical connection. The large LPDB versions can be opened and closed using a locking system. If required, the small distributors can be mounted on top hat rails using the KAH accessory part, the DIN mounting rail holder.

Individual LPDB generations in comparison
Steps of DIN rail mounting
Step 1: Mount holder #KAH on the DIN rail
Step 2: Open the terminal using the locking slide and attach the cable
Step 3: close the terminal
Step 4: Slide the terminal onto the DIN rail holder
Stud Terminals
To connect large currents, the isolated stud terminals offer space for conductor cross sections up to 240 mm². The terminals are available from 25 to 240 mm² and are for rated currents up to 415 A with a maximum operating voltage of 1.000 V. Easy mounting on DIN rails facilitates installation. Depending on the conductor cross-section, it is possible to attach up to four conductors with a cable lug to the threaded bolt using a hexagon screw.
The screw connection creates an optimum connection between the clamping body and the cable lug and ensures a secure application, even in a vibrating environment. The stud terminals can be stringed together by copper bridges with two holes. To do this, break out the housing at the pre-marked points.

Easy Connection Boxes
Progress also manifests itself in how much of it can be packaged in as little space as possible. True to the motto: less is more. The Easy Connection Box terminal KS74Hx is also compact. It is a compressed development of the KS74x series, which now saves considerably more space in the control cabinet than its previous version model, but at
the same time meets the same requirements as its previous version.
The DIN rail holder of the ECB terminal KS74Hx can be individually mounted ongitudinally and transversely, so that the terminal fulfills every need in the control cabinet. The cables can be attached without tools into the spring plug-in terminal and released at any time using a small screwdriver. Screw terminals are used to fasten the main supply line. The ECB terminals are tested according to VDE 0603-1 and approved
for applications up to 450V AC and 76A. The KS74Hx is available in the colors grey, blue, green / yellow, red and black, as well as in various strung modules.

MiniClic
Mounting: simple & clever. MiniClic reduces mounting times of busbar outputs by up to 50 %. The MiniClic module is first pushed onto the busbar, and then fixed by two maintenance-free screws. Then, the cubes for the required outputs will be plugged in; the cubes engage into a spring mechanism and can be removed as required. Finally, single-wire and multi-wire cables with cross-sections of 1.5 up to 10 mm², equipped with cable end sleeves or ultra sonic welded cable ends can be pushed easily into the cube opening. The cable ends will thus be firmly locked by the push-in spring.
Total flexibility. MiniClic allows extremely flexible use with various combinations. Thus many applications can be covered. Only those outputs will be equipped with cubes that are actually needed. MiniClic allows direct mounting on busbar systems or on base plate. For example, the version with integrated busbar and bolt can be connected with the main breaker by means of copper lugs. With factory pre-assembled input terminal MiniClic can even be used as a small distribution block. Due to the compact size MiniClic will save both valuable space and mounting time! Simple and brilliant – simply brilliant.
On request, FTG will pre-fabricate single-wire and multi-wire cables with common colours, right to size, with cable end sleeves or with ultra sonic welded cable ends.
The MiniClic Family offers a solution for both small applications and complex ones. MiniClic 4x is a small wonder in saving space. Wide only 66.2mm, it can be used anywhere where there is little space in the control cabinet. The 5 part MiniClic system offers you 50 outlets which can be connected flexibly.
Busbar Terminals
Bow Terminals are the modern method of collecting power on copper or aluminum busbars in switch boards. Due to the easy handling and the minimum number of steps in the installation using these busbar terminals is very cost efficient and time saving.
The common practice of using cable lugs is more time consuming and expensive in comparison. In order to do so a compactor is needed to fix the cable in the lug. In addition to this a hole needs to be drilled into the busbar to fix the lug with a bolt and a nut. With a busbar terminal a reduction of 50% assembly time can be achieved.
+ Tightening the screw secures the cable in the terminal. There is no drilling and cable lug necessary.
+ for copper and / or aluminium conductors / busbars
+ for conductor cross sections up to 1,5 – 185 sqmm
+ High time saving by simple snapping onto busbars [3 – 10 mm]
