Space-saving surge protection with these thin modules

With modules starting at just 3.5-mm wide, the new Termitrab Complete surge-protective devices (SPDs; photo) can protect up to 572 signals on 1 m of DIN rail. In addition to this ultra-narrow option, the company’s newest SPD line includes variants that meet many specific measurement and control needs. The range includes SPDs that use optical monitoring capabilities to troubleshoot and diagnose a system from any location. Local and remote status indication simplifies maintenance. Some modules in the Termitrab Complete line come in a pluggable format. The user can easily remove and replace devices without having to undo or redo connection wiring, saving valuable time. The pluggable versions can be tested using the mobile test laboratory CheckMaster 2. The SPDs are available with Push-in connection technology or screw connection. Eight variants are triple-rated for hazardous locations (IEC Ex, ATEX and Class I, Division 2). A knife-disconnection option makes testing and evaluation more convenient. — Phoenix Contact USA, Middletown, Pa.
