Weidmuller W-Series Terminal Blocks

The Weidmuller W-Series was created primarily to improve the SAK series in three areas:

• Polyamide, the plastic or nylon used in the moulding of the SAK product line has a relatively low melting point. The W-Series introduced the new material, Wemid, which has a higher melting point but still remains flexible and resists breakage.
• TS 32 rail is not a universally accepted standard for mounting rail. The W-Series terminal blocks were designed to mount on industry standard TS 35 DIN Rail. This rail is widely used for mounting other electrical and electronic devices.
• Many of the terminal blocks in the SAК Series product line have different profiles. When placed together on a mounting rail insertion of the wires can be difficult. Also, the installation may not be aesthetically appealing. The W-Series terminal blocks were designed with a more uniform block profile. This feature makes insertion of wires during installation much easier.

The W-Series terminal blocks share the same proven screw/cage clamp technology as the SAK Series terminal blocks. However, improvements were made to the current bar to support improved jumpering (or cross-connection) capabilities. The table below shows some of the more common W-Series Terminal Block products:
