Cross-connection terminal (terminal), screw-type, yellow, 32 A, Number of poles: 5, Pitch in mm: 5.10, Insulated: Yes, Width: 7 mm, WQV 2.5/5 1053960000

Construction and purpose of the cross-connection

The WQV 2.5/5 cross-connection is used for bridging five terminals in feed-through terminal blocks. Its main role is potential distribution and signal transmission between adjacent terminals - without the need for additional wiring. Simply screw the connector into the grooves on the terminals to connect selected poles into a single common potential circuit.

The housing is fully insulated, providing protection against accidental contact with live parts - this is important both during daily operation of the control cabinet and during maintenance work. The yellow color is intentional - in industry it is the standard for potential distribution elements, which facilitates quick identification on the panel.

The 5.1 mm pitch corresponds to the standard terminal spacing of the Weidmüller WQV 2.5 series - so the connector fits popular screw-type terminal blocks used in industrial applications.

Electrical and mechanical parameters

The rated continuous current of 32 A allows transmission of substantial loads through the bridge without losses at intermediate contacts. The total width of the element is only 7 mm, which with five bridged poles provides a compact profile - particularly important in cabinets with limited space for terminal blocks.

Installation is done by screwing - no special tools or live working required. The screw-mounted construction ensures stable pressure and durable electrical contact even under vibration or thermal expansion cycles.

Compliance and conditions of use

The product is RoHS compliant - it contains no lead, cadmium or other restricted substances. According to ETIM classification, it belongs to group EC000489 (accessories for terminal blocks).

The connector does not have explosion-proof construction (ATEX), so it is not intended for explosive atmospheres - this must be considered when selecting for applications in industrial environments with Ex certification.

Designed for use in standard industrial conditions - continuous operating temperature within the typical range for this manufacturer's electrotechnical components.
