Wiring Touch-Down Terminal Blocks: BNH Series
Instructions
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 1. Insert the wire (or crimping terminal) into
the terminal block with the terminal
screws in the open position. (Use of
crimping terminals is optional.)
Step 2. Push the terminal screw down to hold the
wire in place.
Step 3. Hold the terminal screw down, and tighten
with a screwdriver.
Step 4. To remove the wire, loosen the terminal
screw and pull up until wire is released.
Installation and Removal of Terminal Blocks
Instructions
Appearance
Step 1.
Slide the terminal blocks onto the DIN rail from one end.
Step 2.
Use BNL5 or BNL6 end clips to secure the terminal block row
and to prevent side-to-side movement. BNH10W, BNH15MW,
BNH15LW, and BNH30W can be installed from the middle of a
DIN rail.
Step 3.
To install, place the terminal block on top of the DIN rail and
push down until both edges of the terminal block snap onto the
DIN rail.
Step 4.
Removal
Tool
BND2
To remove the terminal block, use the BND2 removal tool as
shown on the right.
Mounting Double-Deck Terminal Blocks
Instructions
Appearance
DIN Rail Mount:
Terminal
Block
Step 1. First install the end plate. Then mount the terminal blocks onto
the DIN rail.
Step 2. To prevent side-to-side movement on the DIN rail, use the BNL-8
mounting clip at both ends of the rail.
End
Plate
Step 1. Assemble a row of terminal blocks with end plates on exposed
end(s).
Step 2. Use BNDL2 mounting clips at both ends of a row.
Step 3. With the two holes of the mounting clip aligned with the terminal
block holes, insert a connecting rod through each hole.
Step 4. Secure the ends of the connecting rods with the connecting
nuts, as shown below.

Step 1. Add widths of all terminal blocks
(reference pages K-4 through K-9).
Overall Mounting Centers
Rail Length + 1" (25mm)
Step 2. Add the endplate thickness
(usually only one).
Mounting Centers
every 2" (50mm)
Step 3. Add the DIN rail stop widths
(usually two are used).
Step 4. Round to the nearest 2" (50mm)
increment to allow for DIN rail hole
spacing.
Step 5. Add 1" (25mm) to ensure 0.5"
(12.5mm) of clearance at each end
of the DIN rail.
