Harrisburg, Pa.-Phoenix Contact introduces a high-density, spring cage terminal block family, ST. The mini-spring design reduces overall size of the terminal blocks without relinquishing features. ST product has a flexible, dual-channel push-in jumper system, which can handle chain and skip bridging using 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or 20 position jumpers.

There is a wire entrance said to eliminate the need to use a larger terminal block when ferrules are used. ST block has large center marking for easy access, readability and end-marking that labels each termination point.
