Terminal block suits electric vehicle charging stations

The 828 Series feedthrough terminal block is now UL Certified for 600 V/40 A, enabling it to provide tool-free, maintenance-free, through-panel terminations for control panel applications such as motor control centers, UPS systems, and electric vehicle charging stations.

Initially developed for alternative energy inverter systems, the 828 Series aids the separation of field-wired power input connections from sensitive electronics by simplifying conductor passage through enclosure walls. This creates sub-panels where power input connections can be made outside the protected area of enclosures or control panels. The 828 uses Cage Clamp spring pressure connection technology, simplifying terminations: Lift the lever, insert a stripped conductor (16-6 AWG) into the termination port, and lower the lever.

The single-piece 828 Series simplifies panel openings and eliminates alignment issues during panel assembly. To install, insert the block through a rectangular panel opening and secure to the panel via a standard locking clip. An integrated lockout feature accommodates a security seal or tagout marker, preventing unauthorized access to external terminations. A panel gasket seal provides a splash-resistant enclosure seal for additional protection and reliability.
