Compact Terminal Block OMRON XW5E-P1.5-2.2-1 with Strong Holding Strength and Light Insertion Force

Product Overview

The OMRON XW5T Push-in Plus Terminal Blocks are designed to downsize control panels and simplify wiring work. These terminal blocks offer a compact design compared to traditional screw terminals, ensuring maintenance-free applications. Available in industry-standard pitches of 3.5 mm, 5.2 mm, and 6.2 mm, they feature a light insertion force combined with strong holding strength for reliable connections. The 'hands-free' structure aids workability, especially with stranded wires, by holding an inserted screwdriver. Suitable for Feed Through and Grounding applications, these terminal blocks are mounted on DIN tracks and require end brackets and covers for secure installation and safety.

Safety Precautions

Precautions for Safe Use:

• Do not drop the Terminal Block; functionality may be inhibited.
• Do not exceed the rated voltage or current; this may damage or burn out the Terminal Block.
• Mount Terminal Blocks on a DIN Track and secure both ends with Stoppers.
• Avoid use in locations with toxic gases (H2S, SO2, NH3, HNO3, Cl2), high temperature, or high humidity, as this can cause contact failure or corrosion.
• Do not use or store the Terminal Block in locations subject to severe temperature changes, high humidity, condensation, severe vibration or shock, direct sunlight, or sea breeze.
• Do not wire anything to the release holes.
• When inserting or removing a screwdriver from the release hole, do not tilt or twist it, and do not let it fall out. Insert at an angle (10-15).
• Do not bend wires beyond their natural radius or pull with excessive force to prevent wire disconnection.
• Do not insert more than one wire into each terminal insertion hole.
• When mounting multiple Terminal Blocks, ensure conductive parts of adjacent blocks face the same direction to prevent short circuits.
• Always turn OFF the power supply before wiring to prevent electrical shock.
• Always mount End Covers on the exposed metal surface of the last Terminal Block or any Terminal Block adjacent to a different shape of Terminal Block to prevent electric shock.

Precautions for Correct Use:

• When wiring, do not subject the Terminal Block or wires to stress. Secure wires to prevent resonance with facility vibrations.
• When connecting wires, insert solid wires or ferrules straight into the terminal block until they strike the end.
• For stranded wires, insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the release hole at an angle (10-15), insert the wire into the terminal hole, and then remove the screwdriver.
• After insertion, gently pull the wire to ensure it is securely fastened.
• To remove wires (stranded, solid, or ferrules), insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the release hole at an angle, remove the wire, and then remove the screwdriver.
• Confirm wire ratings and use appropriate wiring materials to prevent smoking or ignition.
• When using ferrules, ensure the outer diameter of the wire is smaller than the inner diameter of the ferrule's insulation sleeve and that ferrule processing dimensions conform to specifications.
• Note that for 1.0 mm wires with ferrules, part of the conductor may be visible after insertion, but insulation distance is still satisfied.
• Two-tier Terminal Blocks with a 3.5 mm width do not have a place to mount top-surface labels.

Recommended Wire Stripping Lengths:

• XW5T-P1.5 / XW5G-P1.5: 8 mm
• XW5T-P2.5 / XW5G-P2.5: 10 mm
• XW5T-P4.0 / XW5G-P4.0: 12 mm

Recommended Ferrules and Crimp Tools: Refer to the detailed tables in the original document for specific ferrule types, conductor lengths, and recommended crimp tools from various manufacturers (Phoenix Contact, Weidmuller, Wago).

Recommended Flat-blade Screwdriver: Wera ESD 0,402,5 (or equivalent: SZS 0,42,5, SZF 0-0,42,5, etc.)

Mounting to DIN Track: Press the Terminal Block against the DIN Track.

Removing from DIN Track: Catch the tip of a screwdriver in the hook, move it in direction (1), and remove the Terminal Block in direction (2).

Short Bars Mounting: Insert into Short Bar holes and press fully. Can be bent and cut.

Labels Mounting: Remove one at a time and insert onto Terminal Blocks (top or side surfaces). Note specific limitations for two-tier blocks.

End Cover Mounting: Attach to exposed metal surfaces of the last or adjacent Terminal Block.

Separator Plate Mounting: Tighten the screw in the middle of the top surface with a flat-blade screwdriver.
