Description
Technical Parameters

The XCDS-16 is a 16 mm2 knife-disconnect terminal block engineered for safe, tool-operated circuit isolation in industrial control panels. Featuring a hinged disconnect blade, it allows technicians to open measurement and control circuits instantly without rewiring.

 

Built with UL94 V-0 flame-retardant PA66 housing and high-conductivity electrolytic copper current bars, the XCDS-16 ensures low contact resistance, high vibration resistance, and stable long-term electrical performance in demanding switchgear environments. Fully compatible with industry-standard 35 mm DIN rails and standard plug-in bridging systems.
 

Key Features

 

Hinged Disconnect Lever: Clearly visible switch blade provides positive feedback for open/closed circuit status, preventing operational errors during testing.


Maintenance-Free Screw Clamp: Reversible steel clamping yoke with anti-loosening thread design resists shock and vibration, eliminating terminal retightening maintenance.


Integrated Test Points: Built-in test sockets on both sides of the disconnect point allow direct insertion of 4 mm test probes without opening the knife switch.


Universal Accessory Compatibility: Accepts standard plug-in jumpers (FBS series), end brackets, and marking strips for fast potential distribution across adjacent terminals.


Zero-Halogen Housing: Molded from virgin PA66 engineering plastic, offering superior tracking resistance (CTI 600) and operating temperatures from -40°C to +105°C.

Color Customization: Standard grey available from stock; blue, red, orange, yellow, and black available for bulk custom orders.


Pre-Assembled DIN Rail Assemblies: Delivered pre-configured with end brackets, partition plates, and jumpers according to your electrical schematic.

 

Manufacturing & Quality Control

 

Automated Injection Molding: Precision molds operated on 160T-250T Haitian injection machines maintain dimensional tolerances within ±0.03 mm, preventing rail-mounting deformation.


Metal Stamping & Plating: High-speed progressive stamping presses form current bars from raw copper strip, followed by automated barrel plating (nickel/tin) to guarantee uniform coating thickness (≥3 µm).


Rigorous Testing Protocol (In-House & Third-Party Aligned):
• Dielectric Withstand Voltage Test: 100% routine testing at 3000V AC for 60 seconds in accordance with IEC 60947-7-1.
• Contact Resistance Test: Monitored to remain below 0.8 mΩ after 500 mechanical mating cycles.
• Torque and Pull-out Tests: Verified on motorized test stands to exceed UL 486 / IEC 60947 mechanical retention requirements.

 

FAQ

 

Q: Can the XCDS-16 be used for wire sizes smaller than 16 mm2?

A: Yes, the terminal accepts stranded and solid wires down to 1.5 mm2 (AWG 20), provided the clamping screw is tightened to the specified torque range (2.0 - 2.2 Nm).

Q: Is the disconnect lever lockable in the open position?

A: The knife lever features a detent mechanism that holds it securely in both open and closed positions, preventing accidental closure from vibration.

Q: What standard accessories are compatible with this block?

A: It accepts standard end covers (D-XCDS-16), plug-in bridges (FBS series), warning labels, and Zack marker strips (ZB 12), ensuring seamless integration into existing panel layouts.

Q: What are your standard lead times and MOQ for bulk orders?

A: Standard stock items ship within 3 to 5 business days with a flexible minimum order quantity (MOQ) for trial batches. OEM custom colors or laser-marking production runs typically require 15 to 20 days.

Q: Do you provide free engineering samples for testing?

A: Yes, complimentary evaluation samples are available for qualified panel builders and OEMs. Freight collect or pre-paid options apply depending on destination.

Q: What export documentation is included with shipments?

A: Each shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA), RoHS compliance declaration, and material test reports upon request.
