Description
This Knightsbridge 15A 12-way terminal block provides twelve independent connection points for electrical wiring up to 10mm² cross-section, rated at 15A per terminal. The block is moulded from PA66 nylon rated to UL94-V2 standard, meaning it self-extinguishes if exposed to flame, reducing fire risk in domestic and light commercial installations. The natural finish is an off-white translucent colour typical of unfilled PA66 polymer.
The terminal block suits distribution boards, junction box installations, and control panel wiring where multiple circuits need to be terminated in a compact space. The 129mm length accommodates twelve screw terminals in a single strip, avoiding the need to mount multiple smaller blocks side-by-side. Each terminal accepts solid or stranded copper wire up to 10mm², and the screw clamps apply even pressure across the wire's cross-section to ensure a low-resistance connection.
The IP20 rating means the block is suitable for dry indoor locations only — not for outdoor use, damp areas, or bathroom zones. The operating temperature range of -30°C to +110°C covers most UK installation environments including loft spaces in summer and unheated outbuildings in winter, though the lower end of that range is rarely encountered in domestic settings. The 21mm width and 17.1mm height keep the block's projection minimal when mounted on DIN rail or directly to a back panel.

Frequently Asked
What wire size does each terminal accept?
Each of the twelve terminals accepts wire up to 10mm² cross-section, suitable for both solid and stranded copper conductors. The screw clamp applies even pressure across the wire to ensure a secure, low-resistance connection.
Can this be used outdoors or in damp areas?
No. The IP20 rating means the terminal block is suitable for dry indoor locations only. It should not be used outdoors, in bathrooms, or in any environment where moisture or dust ingress is likely.
What does the UL94-V2 rating mean?
UL94-V2 is a flame-retardant rating for plastic materials. It means the PA66 nylon will self-extinguish within 30 seconds of a flame source being removed, reducing the risk of fire spread in an electrical fault scenario.
How is the block mounted?
The terminal block can be mounted directly to a back panel using screws through the base, or clipped onto 35mm DIN rail depending on the installation environment. Check the product specification sheet for mounting hole positions.
