In the interest of ensuring firm contacts and long component service life, Vossloh-Schwabe uses only top-quality materials for plastic or metal parts during the production of connection terminals. These quality features apply to both Vossloh-Schwabe´s luminaire connection terminals as well as to the terminals fitted to ballasts and lampholders.
Notes on connection terminals on electronic ballasts
Vossloh-Schwabe electronic ballasts are fitted with installation-friendly push-in connectors. In addition, many models for linear fluorescent lamps are also available with IDC terminals (for solid conductors, 0.5 mm˛) and supplementary push-in terminals (for solid conductors, 0.5 -1.5 mm˛, stripped length 8+1mm or 7.5 - 8.5 mm). IDC terminals permit automated luminaire wiring and testing using the ALF system and are thus particularly efficient.
Notes on connection terminals on electromagnetic ballasts
Standard issue Vossloh-Schwabe electromagnetic ballasts are fitted with installation-friendly IDC/push-in terminals (combination terminals) or push-in terminals. The terminals are designed for use with solid conductors with cross-sections of 0.5 -1.0 mm˛ (combination terminals) or up to 1.5 mm˛ (push-in terminals) and are approved for current loads of up to 3 A (combination terminal) and 16 A (push-in terminal). The lead stripping length totals 8±1mm for push-in terminals; leads must not be stripped for IDC terminals.
On request, many ballasts can also be provided with screw terminals (current load up to 16 A) for conductor cross-sections of 0.5 to 2.5 mm˛.
Notes on connection terminals on lampholders
Vossloh-Schwabe usually equips lampholders for T and TC lamps as well as starter lampholders with installation-friendly push-in terminals for solid conductors of 0.5 -1.0 mm˛. Most lampholders are fitted with twin push-in terminals and thus permit through-wiring. The required lead stripping length amounts to 8+1mm for all types.
