Type BU
They are built according to the specifications of IEC 60998-1 and IEC 60998-2, for a maximum voltage of 450V.
Ceramic: Steatite type C221, unglazed, slightly creamy color.
Typical insulation resistance between two terminals (500V measuring voltage):
at 20°C (70°F): 300 MΩ
at 100°C (212°F): 250 MΩ
at 200°C (390°F): 200 MΩ
at 300°C (570°F): 190 MΩ
at 400°C (750°F): 190 MΩ
The insulation values with respect to the earth are approximately 2 times greater. The EN 60998 standard imposes an insulation resistance greater than 5 MΩ. Their insulating characteristics are therefore about 20 to 40 times higher, including at 400°C (750°F).
Dielectric strength: higher than 4500V. Minimum insulation distance through ceramic between 2 terminals: 2mm
Screws: Galvanized steel 4.8, reduced diameter slotted cylindrical head, according to DIN 920
Terminals: CuZn40Pb2 brass, high mechanical strength. Models with nickel plated brass terminals are available on request (MOQ apply)
Maximum operating voltage: 450V, in pollution class 3. (Pollution class 3 defines micro-environmental conditions causing conductive pollution or non-conductive pollution that may become conductive if condensation can occurs).
Insulation distances: Greater than 4mm between mounting face and terminals, between terminals, and between two connection blocks mounted side by side.
Live parts: Protected against accidental electrical contact (Standard Finger Type A according to IEC 61032).
Mounting: With the exception of the single-wire terminals, the terminal blocks have one or two holes for installing them with a screw on a wall or a board. A hexagonal recess makes it possible to place a round-headed or hexagonal-headed screw, or a nut. This allows mounting with clamping by the front or the back.
Maximum ambient temperature:
- Permanent: 230°C / 450°F
- Peak (duration <90 minutes): 450°C / 840°F
The temperature resistance values of the brass connector were validated by pull tests of the wires according to EN 60998, carried out after 48H at 230°C (450°F) or 90 minutes at 450°C (840°F). Applicable standards: (IEC) EN 60998-1; (IEC) EN 60998-2-1 Attention: Special care must be taken to avoid reducing the insulation and safety distances from electric shock during installation: avoid the use of inappropriate mounting screws, respect wire stripping lengths and insert wires inside the terminal until the insulation comes into contact with the brass.
