1729128 in Terminal Blocks (5.08mm) Family
The 1729128 family, part of the Phoenix Contact MKDS series, represents a standard 5.08mm pitch wire-to-board terminal block solution. Designed for horizontal orientation, these through-hole components utilize a robust screw-clamp mechanism with a tension sleeve to ensure high contact force and long-term reliability. Engineers frequently specify these for industrial control systems and power supplies where secure, field-replaceable connections are required for wire gauges up to 12 AWG or 4mm² cross-sections.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within this sub-family primarily differ in position count, typically ranging from 2 to 16 poles, and color options beyond the standard green. Some iterations offer different screw head geometries, such as slotted or Pozidriv, to match specific field-tooling requirements. While the 1729128 refers to the 2-position model, modular versions allow for interlocking multiple blocks to create custom strip lengths.
