Space-saving shield support

24 March 2004 Interconnection

With the new AB-SK 65-D shield support, from Phoenix Contact, cable shields can be connected on both sides of the mounting rail. This means space savings of up to 35% compared to the former product solution, says the manufacturer.

The support has a holding fixture for the 3 x 10 mm standard neutral conductor busbar on both sides of the mounting rail. The cable shield can then be easily mounted to a large area using SK shield terminals from Phoenix Contact.

The support comes in two versions, one of which additionally contains an integrated dissipation plate. In the case of the solution with the dissipation plate, the plate is directly contacted with the mounting rail during mounting. This means the interference potential is directly dissipated to PE potential. Without a dissipation plate there is no direct contact to the mounting rail as well as between the neutral conductor bus bars. This solution is required if the cable shield is not directly connected or looped through the PE, but is to be led from the neutral conductor busbar to a PE neutral point.
