What is the rated voltage of the system?
What is the rated current of the system?
With what number of poles is the system available?
How large is the connection cross-section area?
- Fine-stranded cables without ferrules: 0.25 mm² to 1.00 mm²
- Fine-stranded cables with ferrules: up to 0.5 mm²
- Solid wires: 0.2 mm² to 1.00 mm²
What connection types are there?
What IP ratings are available?
IP66 / IP68 (3m;2h) / IP69
What approvals are available?
VDE (to IEC 61984), in preparation: cULus, DNV, LR, RINA
Can I install the system underground?
Yes, the installation regulations according to VDE0100 must be observed. Direct laying in soil is not advisable.
Can the system be permanently operated under water?
No, temporary immersion is possible according to the specification: 3m; 2h
Can I connect fine-stranded cables without ferrules?
Yes. The RST® range of screw terminal connections is suitable for connecting unprepared cables (without ferrules) to EN 60999-1.
What cable diameter do the connectors support?
The 2- & 3-pole connectors support cables with a diameter of 4 mm to 7 mm and the 4- & 5-pole connectors support cables with a diameter of 5 mm to 10.6 mm. Other diameters on request.
What is the additional "internal contact seal" for?
In practice, unfortunately, incorrectly executed installations, damage to the cables or temperature differences repeatedly occur. This creates harmful moisture inside the installation. At this point, built-in barriers help to stop the water from passing on. RST MICRO is available with this as an option, with each single contact featuring internal sealing. In practice, this is also called "Longitudinal waterproofing".
What thread do the device connectors have?
The thread of the 3-pole device connector is M14 x 1, the 5-pole thread is M16.6. A CAD model of the internal thread of the nut is available on request. However, we always recommend the use of the locknut.
For which applications is the system intended?
The system is optimized for the interfaces between voltage and current sources and LED modules, and is also the ideal solution for dimming or DMX applications. Thanks to its rated values, network applications are no problem either.
What is the screw drive type?
How many codings are available?
For each number of poles, four codings in black, light blue, slate gray and pebble gray are available. These are also mechanically locked.
Is serial installation possible?
Yes, in the 2 & 3 pole variants the pebble gray distributors are provided for this purpose respectively. These are internally wired in series.
What is the diameter of the connectors?
The connectors have a diameter of 14.9 mm.
How often can they be (un-)plugged?
Can I open a connection without tools?
Can I open a connector without tools?
Yes, the respective caps can be used for support.
Is the system suitable for DC applications?
DC applications are possible within certain specifications. Must be coordinated with WIELAND.
Can the distributors be cascaded?
What internal wiring do the distributors have?
The distributors are wired in parallel, except for the 2- and 3-pole pebble grey distributors, which are wired in series.
