Description
Technical Parameters

The XCDS-10 is a 10 mm2 (6 AWG) knife disconnect terminal block designed for 35 mm DIN-rail mounting in industrial control panels, instrumentation loops, and power distribution systems. It provides a mechanical pivot lever to safely open and isolate individual electrical circuits for testing, calibration, and maintenance without disrupting permanent field wiring.

 

Key Features

 

Pivoting Knife Disconnect: Features a hinged lever mechanism that opens manually and locks securely in the open position to prevent accidental reconnection under heavy machinery vibration.


Low-Resistance Current Bar: Machined from high-purity electrolytic copper alloy with uniform tin electroplating, ensuring minimal voltage drop and low thermal rise during continuous operation.


Vibration-Resistant Screw Clamping: Enclosed steel clamping yokes deliver consistent, uniform contact pressure on solid or stranded conductors, resisting loosening under high-vibration conditions.


PA66 Insulating Housing: Molded from virgin Polyamide 6.6, offering mechanical rigidity, creepage stability, and a continuous operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.


Standard EN 60715 Footprint: Snaps directly onto standard 35 mm top-hat DIN rails for space-efficient panel layouts.

Applications

 

PLC / DCS Signal Loops: Segmenting individual sensor or actuator circuits for diagnostic testing without removing panel field wires.


Secondary Transformer Circuits: Safe isolation of current transformers (CT) and protection relay test circuits.


Industrial Machine Tools (OEM): Circuit segmentation and logic verification during Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and field commissioning.

 

Power Distribution Panels: Auxiliary power supply control and meter testing isolation.

 

Customization & OEM/ODM Capabilities

 

Supported by in-house tooling and vertically integrated manufacturing lines for volume panel builders:


Housing Colors: Standard gray, with optional colors (blue, red, black, yellow/green) available for dedicated circuit classification.


Laser Marking: Permanent laser engraving of custom terminal block numbers, circuit identifiers, or corporate branding.


Pre-Assembled DIN Rail Units: Delivery of customized terminal assemblies pre-loaded with end brackets, partition plates, and jumpers according to customer CAD schematics.

 

Manufacturing & Quality Control

 

Production and process consistency are managed through direct factory execution:


In-House Tooling & Electric Injection: Multi-cavity molds running on high-tonnage Japanese electric injection presses to maintain uniform wall thickness and dimensional stability in PA66 housings.


Automated Machining & Plating: High-speed automatic lathes produce copper current bars and steel yokes, paired with automated barrel plating lines with monitored coating thickness.


Laboratory Testing Protocols: Batch sample testing is performed in accordance with industrial standards:
Conductor Pull-Out Force and Screw Torque Verification (IEC 60947 standard)
Temperature Rise and Current-Carrying Limit Testing
96-Hour Salt Spray Corrosion Resistance Testing on metal parts
Power Frequency Dielectric Withstand and Impulse Breakdown Tests

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: Can the XCDS-10 accept flexible wire without a ferrule?

A: Yes, the clamping yoke accommodates both solid and stranded copper wires directly. However, using bootlace (pin) ferrules is recommended in high-vibration environments to protect fine strands.

Q: What is the exact recommended tightening torque for the screw clamp?

A: The recommended tightening torque for the M4 screw is 1.5 Nm to 1.8 Nm to ensure reliable contact pressure without damaging conductor strands.

Q: Are matching jumper bars and end covers available?

A: Yes, plug-in insertion bridges, partition plates, and end brackets matching the 10.2 mm pitch are fully stocked as compatible accessories.

Q: How does the LED version (XCDS-10-L) operate during circuit interruption?

A: The XCDS-10-L variant includes an integrated LED indicator circuit that illuminates when the switch is open or a voltage drop occurs, providing immediate visual fault identification.

Q: What documentation is available for electrical layout design?

A: Complete technical specification sheets (PDF), 2D drawings, and 3D CAD models (STEP format) are available for direct import into EPLAN and AutoCAD electrical software.

Q: What are the standard production and shipping lead times?

A: Standard catalog stock ships within 3 to 7 business days. Custom color molding or laser marking orders typically require 2 to 3 weeks depending on order volume.
