Push-In Relay Test -- Office Chair Race - Phoenix Contact

PLC PT Relays equipped with our leg spring, push-in termination technology have a reliable, long lasting connection ideal for high vibration applications. The retention force is five times the IEC requirement. Terminations are made by simply pushing the wire into the PT terminal, using very little force. No specialized tools are required, which helps reduce installation time and costs. The PT relays ensure faster wiring, up to 60% faster than the screw termination style. To disconnect the wire, simply insert a screwdriver into the orange release key, push and release the wire. Our push-in technology creates a high degree of usability and includes a wide range of connections; from 26 AWG to 14 AWG wire sizes.

We are putting this push-in termination technology to the test in a series of videos. The video you are about to watch shows two teams competing in an office chair race. The wire and relay lead is used to pull the people sitting in the chairs. This test helps to prove that our PLC PT relays are a great choice for high vibration applications. The relay wire connections stayed intact with no backing out.
