Save time with Push-X technology
08 May 2025
NEW PUSH-X technology from Phoenix Contact speeds up wiring processes and increases efficiency. The system is suitable for all types of conductors, whether rigid or flexible, with or without ferrules.

The wiring process releases a pretensioned spring, establishing a safe and gas-tight conductor connection. This means that even the smallest flexible conductors can be connected without using tools. Another major advantage of the new technology is one-hand operation. The orange actuating push button, which is clearly marked with an X, indicates by its force-guided position whether a conductor is connected.
To release a connected conductor, the actuating push button is then simply returned to its original position using any tool. The spring locks again in the end position and the terminal point is preloaded for the next conductor connection.
The Push-X product portfolio includes various feed-through and multi-conductor terminal blocks of the XT terminal blocks with a conductor cross-section of 0.5 to 4mm² and the XTV terminal blocks with lateral conductor connection and a conductor cross-section of up to 25mm².
The product family is part of the well-known Clipline complete system from Phoenix Contact. This facilitates the use of uniform accessories and, in turn, cuts costs. Switching over to terminal blocks with Push-X connection is quick and easy.
