They will work just fine with 14 gauge and 12 gauge is the maximum. 14 gauge is not the only size that will work. My experience is that I was able to use down to 24 gauge without problems.
I am certain. Dinkle DK2 is the latest model. 600 volts AC can be handled by the 5N block, according to the UL. Best regards, Clayton (br>International Connector, Inc.)
These terminal blocks are used in yachts by many of our customers. Even though, according to my understanding, many of them live in climate controlled With this kit, all the metal parts are for instance not nickel plated, like the ones found in our marine terminal blocks. Therefore, constant exposure to salt water will probably diminish their lifespan. Best regards, Clayton (br>International Connector, Inc.)

These kits have been used to decompose an old piece of equipment that was covered in a rat's nest of wiring. The DIN blocks shown here are pretty standard. They are capable of handling wire up to 12 gauge and are built to withstand the rigors of use. The kit comes with an aluminium rail, but these are standard rails, so you can attach them to rails in your equipment that may already be there, or buy standard steel rails, if that is what you need. When you want to easily identify different circuits, the color scheme is a handy feature. Unlike some terminal blocks, the jumpers for these make a good connection and are easy to install. With a pair of wire cutters, you can cut the strip of jumpers to any desired length. With the end blocks, you can hold the terminal blocks securely in place with minimal movement since they lock securely to the rail. There are four end blocks included in the kit. '
The ground blocks screw into the rail to make a ground connection for the machine frame, so they are only to be used for ground connections. As general purpose terminal blocks, they are not suitable for use. This is a product I will be ordering again.
It makes it easy for someone new to the electronics world to understand the differences between inputs, outputs, power sources, low voltage and high voltage. We recommend coloring them in so new users can understand them. It's nice to have a trainer panel starter kit. In order to improve this smorgasbord of terminal blocks, a short insert that clarifies that the Green/Yellow terminal blocks serve as grounding blocks, and that the bigger Tan terminal blocks are end blocks used only to maintain a snug installation would be a valuable addition. The way the different parts are used and an explanation of how they should be utilized would be very helpful to buyers, along with a link to the companies web site. It is still an overall 5 star product.
I am very pleased with the blocks. They arrived very quickly and are well constructed. It is only the lack of documentation that concerns me. Aside from some videos that I found helpful, I still have questions based on what I found on the website. A pdf file with product descriptions and data would be helpful. Would you be so kind to take a look at wire gauge sizes and grounding blocks?.
These were used in order to build a proof of concept connection box. Was able to sample at a small scale because it had everything to do so. I used them for my application and they were perfect. They are screw terminals, so you'll need a small screwdriver to tighten them.
All of the items you might need in one box are included by Clayton. It would be better suited to a smaller project. These terminal blocks are a little small. However, low voltage low power distribution makes this a perfect low voltage low power design.
As an alternative to push-together connectors, I used these. The absolute connection these connectors provide is superior to the repeating mating cycles that are common with push together connectors. In my application, push connectors are considerably less clunky, are quick to connect and are easy to use, however frequent mating is required as well as.
Two of these terminal blocks in different colors have been purchased for me before. For the price, they are fairly good and the fact that they come in multiple colors makes it extremely simple to identify each circuit. In the near future, I'll be buying more.
At work, we use it as a test bench. Nothing to complain about.
