Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1492-J3-BL is a feed-through terminal block from Rockwell Automation’s industry-leading Bulletin 1492 family of IEC-standard terminal blocks. Engineered for reliable single-pole electrical connections in industrial control cabinets and automation systems, this black terminal block combines screw-connection simplicity with proven durability. Each unit measures 5.1 × 60 × 39.5 mm and accepts 24–12 AWG conductors, making it ideal for field wiring, panel integration, and system upgrades.
