Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1492-J3-OR terminal block is a single-pole, feed-through conductor block designed for secure wire termination in industrial control panels and automation systems. This orange terminal block features screw connections and is rated for 600V AC/DC maximum voltage and 20A maximum current (CSA rating). The unit measures 5.1 × 60 × 39.5 mm and mounts directly to standard 35mm DIN rail for rapid panel integration. Part of the Bulletin 1492 family, this terminal block delivers consistent performance across diverse wiring applications.
Key Features
- Single-pole feed-through design for inline conductor routing
- Screw-type terminal connections with wire range #22–12 AWG (2.5 mm²)
- Orange insulation for visual circuit identification and safety compliance
- 35mm DIN rail mounting for quick installation and standardized layouts
- Temperature operating range –50 to +120°C
- Multiple international certifications: CCC, CE, CSA, CUL, KC, MARINE, UL
Technical Specifications
The 1492-J3-OR conforms to IEC standards with 600V AC/DC (CSA), 800V AC/DC (IEC), and 550V AC/DC (ATEX) voltage ratings. UR rating supports 25A; CSA rating is 20A. Construction includes rigid housing with screw-clamp terminals for long-term electrical continuity. The block is a single-pole feed-through design, eliminating the need for jumper wires in simple pass-through applications.
Typical Applications
- Control cabinet and panel assembly wiring
- Feed-through conductor routing in distribution systems
- Motor control and starter circuit termination
- Safety control circuits and emergency stop (E-stop) wiring
- Sensor and actuator signal termination
- Any low-voltage to mid-voltage DC/AC circuit requiring secure, indexed termination
