Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1492-J3-BL terminal block is a compact, single-pole IEC screw terminal block from the Bulletin 1492 family. Each unit measures 5.1 × 60 × 39.5 mm and is rated for 20A continuous current at 600V AC/DC. The black color variant provides clear wire identification in control panels, and the feed-through design allows wires to be landed on both top and bottom connections, optimizing panel space. Supplied as a box of 100 units, this is an ideal stock component for system integrators, panel builders, and maintenance teams working with industrial automation systems.
