XB Series Accessories Overview
End Stops
The end stop provides an
anchor point at each end of
the rail assembly by attaching
directly to the DIN rail. A wide
range of end stop options are
available, including those that
mount with one or multiple
screws and those that do not
require screws for mounting.
End stops also have a
location for marking material
to be placed.
DIN Rail
Eaton offers ways for time-
saving and secure mounting
of components needed for
electrical connections. DIN
rail provides the basis for the
inner design of the control
cabinet and ensures a firm
hold of the rail-mountable
components. Eaton offers a
wide range of standard DIN
rails sizes and materials,
solid or slotted. Or, contact
us about custom lengths of
pre-cut rail or ordering pre-
drilled rail. The DIN rails are
designed in accordance with
the European standard
EN 60715.
Angled Mounting Brackets
Angled mounting brackets
are used to mount DIN rail at
a more accessible angle for
wiring and troubleshooting.
Ferrules
Ferrules are available with or
without an insulating sleeve.
The plastic insulating sleeve
simplifies the fitting of the
conductor and the color
indicates the size of the
cross-section. The closer the
connections are, the more
reliable the insulation is and
the less likely the wires are to
splice. Twin ferrules are also
available allowing two wires
to be easily compressed in
one ferrule. Chain bridging,
frequently used in industry,
becomes easier with twin
ferrules.
Hand Tools
Eaton offers an array of hand
tools to make it easier to work
with our terminal blocks. The
XBTCUTSTP tool is
recommended for cutting and
stripping PVC insulated wires.
The ergonomically shaped
crimping pliers, XBTCRMP66,
result in fatigue-free work by
spreading the manual force
equally between the six jaws.
The XBTDVR screwdrivers
have a rotating cap that
prevents user discomfort
even at high torques and
allows rapid rotation. The
ergonomically shaped handle
further aids the user’s
comfort. The blade is made
from CVM steel, hardened
and chrome-plated.
Marking Accessories
The marking system provides
logical and clear identification
of the modular terminal
blocks and interface modules.
The blank marker strip is
designed for marking terminal
blocks, equipment and
smaller modules with marker
grooves. The marker strip is
available in all common
pitches in printed and
unprinted versions.
Testing Accessories
The range of test accessories
available includes different
test plugs, so that an
optimum solution can be
realized for every application.
In addition to pre-assembled
test plugs, plugs are also
available that can be
configured individually to
form test adapters.
