Push-In Relay Test - Go Fly A Kite - Phoenix Contact

We are testing the reliability of the relays using a stunt kite. However, instead of using kite string, we are using 18 AWG wire and have terminated relays on the end of both wire leads. With wind gusts of up to 40 mile per hour, this test helps to show that our PLC PT relays are a great choice for high vibration applications. The relay wire connections stayed intact with no backing out.

PLC PT Relays equipped with our push-in termination technology have a reliable, long lasting connection, ideal for high vibration applications. The retention force is five times the IEC requirement. Terminations are made by simply pushing the ferruled wire into the PT terminal, using very little force. No specialized tools are required, which helps reduce installation time and costs. The PT relays ensure faster wiring, up to 60 percent faster than the screw termination style. To disconnect the wire, simply insert a screwdriver into the orange release key, push and release the wire. Our push-in technology creates a high degree of usability and includes a wide range of connections; from 26 AWG to 14 AWG wire sizes.
