Push-In Relay Test - Play Ball - Phoenix Contact

Play Ball!

We tested our PLC PT Relay push-in termination technology by hitting some baseballs. Some studies show that exit speeds of a hit baseball leaving a baseball tee could be 95 miles per hour or greater. We wanted to see how the retention force of our technology would hold up to the force of a hit baseball. After slugging some baseballs, this test helped prove that our PLC PT Relays have an awesome retention force. The wire connection stayed intact with no backing out.

PLC PT Relays equipped with our push-in termination technology have a reliable, long lasting connection, ideal for high vibration applications. The retention force is five times the IEC requirement. Terminations are made by simply pushing the ferruled wire into the PT terminal, using very little force. No specialized tools are required, which helps reduce installation time and costs. The PT relays ensure faster wiring, up to 60 percent faster than the screw termination style. To disconnect the wire, simply insert a screwdriver into the orange release key, push and release the wire. Our push-in technology creates a high degree of usability and includes a wide range of connections; from 26 AWG to 14 AWG wire sizes.

We are putting this push-in termination technology to the test in a series of videos. The video you are about to watch shows two teams competing in an office chair race. The wire and relay lead is used to pull the people sitting in the chairs. This test helps to prove that our PLC PT relays are a great choice for high vibration applications. The relay wire connections stayed intact with no backing out.
