Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1492-W4 is a robust, single-circuit feed-through terminal block designed for reliable conductor management in industrial automation and control systems. Built to IEC standards and certified for international compliance, this terminal block accommodates both small signal wires and medium power conductors in a compact, DIN rail-mountable footprint.
Key Features
- Single-circuit feed-through design — simplifies wiring and reduces panel assembly time.
- Space-saver configuration — 4 mm terminal size (accommodates #22 AWG to #10 AWG wire) minimizes panel footprint.
- High current capacity — rated 30A/600V UL/CSA and 32A/800V IEC for power and control applications.
- IP2X finger-safe design — meets international IEC, UL, CSA, and ATEX safety standards.
- Screw-terminal connection — secure, tool-friendly, and field-serviceable.
- Color-coded options — available in gray (standard) and multiple color choices for circuit identification.
