Purchase now: Weidmüller 2698420000 A-Series Terminal
Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Weidmüller 2698420000 (Model: A2C 2.5 PE), a state-of-the-art **Protective Earth (Ground) Terminal Block** from the **Klippon® Connect A-Series**. This green/yellow terminal is designed to ground electrical circuits directly to the DIN rail (TS 35) via a metallic foot contact. It utilizes Weidmüller’s revolutionary **PUSH IN** technology, allowing for tool-free insertion of solid wires or ferruled conductors, reducing wiring time by up to 50% compared to screw terminals.
Technical Specifications and PUSH IN Technology
The A2C 2.5 PE handles wire cross-sections up to **2.5 mm²**. The PUSH IN mechanism is distinct from older spring cages: you simply push the stiff wire in, and the stainless steel spring locks it securely. To release, you press the orange pusher. This system is vibration-proof and maintenance-free (no screw re-tightening required). The «PE» designation means the terminal bar is electrically connected to the mounting rail, effectively grounding the entire assembly.

Expert Installation Advice: Check the Rail!
Ground terminals rely on the rail. Expert Tip: Since the A2C 2.5 PE uses the DIN rail as the ground busbar, the rail itself must be conductive. Do **NOT** use this terminal on a heavily painted, anodized, or plastic DIN rail unless you have scraped the contact area clean. We recommend using galvanized steel or copper rails to ensure a low-impedance path to earth for fault currents.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I connect flexible wires without ferrules?
A: Yes, but you need to use a screwdriver to depress the orange pusher while inserting the flexible wire. If you use a ferrule, you can just push it in directly.
Q: Is it compatible with Z-Series accessories?
A: No, the A-Series is the successor to the Z-Series. While they fit on the same rail, the jumpers (cross-connectors) and markers are different. Use **ZQV 2.5** jumpers for A-Series.
