The EL9188 potential distribution terminal provides 16 terminal points with the 24 V potential at the front on the terminal contacts. The 24 V power contact is connected to the front-side terminal contacts and is passed through to the adjacent terminal. The 0 V power contact is not connected to the front-side terminal contacts and is passed through to the adjacent terminal. With the EL9188, the use of additional terminal blocks on the terminal strip can be reduced. The HD EtherCAT Terminals (high density) with increased packing density contain 16 connection points in the housing of a 12 mm-wide EtherCAT Terminal. Solid wire conductors can be connected without tools using the direct plug-in technique.
