panels across all industries
and assessed common
applications with a view to
improve existing solutions and
control voltage distribution is
one such application.
With a greater amount
of electronic equipment
required in control panels
the requirement for voltage
distribution to downstream
consumers in control voltage
circuits is increased.
Often, a daunting number of
conductors have to be wired
in a very confined space. The
traditional solution is to use
two rows of 2.5mm2 feedthrough terminals for potential

distribution and this can
utilise a lot of valuable space
within the cabinet as well
as leading to an increased
risk of incorrect connections
due to the large number of
conductors required.
Weidmuller s tailored lippon®
Connect AAP potential
distribution terminals offers a
structured power distribution
within control voltage circuits.
The considerable space saving
and reduced wiring means you
can guarantee supply to your
panel equipment simply and
effectively.
The modular concept can
be tailored individually to
each machine type, ensuring
you get the best fit solution
for your application. There
are two possible set-ups
- grouped and alternating offering increased flexibility.
In the grouped setup there
are two individual feed-in
terminals, one for the positive
and one for the negative
potential. Each feed-in
terminal can then be cross
connected to the distribution
terminals which contain
up to 6 distribution points,
creating a simple distribution
matrix. In the alternating
set up, there are two different
potentials located on one
terminal, which can then
be cross connected to the
distribution terminals which
contain up to 3 connection
points for each potential and
thus saves additional space
compared with conventional
set-ups.
There are two different
variants available starting with
a feed in terminal suitable
for 6mm2 cable and 1.5mm2
cable distribution terminals
and the second option of
a 10mm2 cable feed in
terminal with 2.5mm2 cable
distribution terminals. With
the 1.5mm2 version being
only 3.5mm wide, the space

Terminal rails,
parts lists and
documentation
are all available
at the click of a
button.
Distribution rails are simple to
build, automatically selecting
the desire terminals and
accessories once you know
how many distribution points
you require. Terminal rails,
parts lists and documentation
are all available at the click of
a button.
The tool supports continuous
engineering workflows
from planning with E-CAD
to requirements and
documentation as mentioned
previously. The straighforward
operation, a clear design
and integration in your
engineering systems make
configuring terminal rails a
simple, safe and convenient
process. In addition, the
extraordinary attention to
detail during the terminal rail
assembly process increases
planning quality compared
with E-CAD systems.
