Cross-connection terminal (jumper), plug-in, yellow, 17.5 A, Number of poles: 10, Pitch in mm: 3.50, Insulated: Yes, Width: 2.8 mm, ZQV 1.5/10 1776200000

Precise potential connections in switchgear

The ZQV 1.5/10 bridge is used to create electrical cross-connections between terminals in a feed-through terminal block assembly. It allows for rapid potential distribution or signal transfer between multiple circuits - without the need for individual wiring of each terminal.

The design is based on ten bridging tracks arranged on a 3,5 mm pitch, ensuring precise fit to this manufacturer's standard terminal blocks. Installation is performed by plugging in - the "plug-in" method significantly accelerates installation work and allows for later reconfiguration of connections without tools.

Design and materials

The bridge housing is fully insulated - made of plastic that protects against accidental contact with terminals (finger safety). Yellow color coding is an industry standard for cross-connection elements, facilitating functional identification in an already assembled switchgear.

Geometric dimensions fall within a compact range: length 34 mm, height 24,8 mm, width 2,8 mm. The weight is only 3,39 g, so the bridge does not mechanically load delicate terminal blocks.

Operating parameters and certification

The rated current of 17,5 A allows for use in signaling and control circuits found in industrial automation - where full power capacity is not required, but connection reliability is critical.

A significant advantage is the confirmed Ex-e (increased explosion protection) certification - the bridge can be used in zones at risk of gas or dust explosion, where components with enhanced safety parameters are required.

Production takes place in Germany, and the entire line of accessories for Weidmüller Z series feed-through terminals is subject to quality management according to the DIN EN ISO 9001 standard and the integrated IMS management system.

Application and compatibility

The ZQV 1.5/10 bridge is used wherever a switchgear designer wants to quickly set up potentials on multiple terminals - e.g., for earth distribution, auxiliary power rails, or grouping PLC controller inputs/outputs. Plugging in the bridge eliminates the need for additional jumpers manually formed from wires.

Compatibility includes all Weidmüller Z series feed-through terminal blocks with a 3,5 mm pitch - before purchasing, it is worth verifying the fit for the specific terminal model used in the project.
