£12.25
The TE Connectivity BP8.A4 1SNA173888R2000 is a dedicated short-circuit bridging plug designed for electrically connecting two identical adjacent Entrelec terminal blocks. Part of the established Entrelec SNA terminal block accessory range, it provides a compact and convenient method of creating a temporary or permanent cross-connection within industrial control panels and automation systems.
The BP8.A4 is designed for terminal blocks with an 8 mm pitch and uses a 4 mm-diameter plug connection. It can electrically bridge two compatible juxtaposed terminals without requiring a separate wired jumper, helping simplify testing, commissioning, maintenance and common-potential connection tasks.
Compatible with a range of Entrelec terminal families including M6/8, M6/8.RS, M6/8.ST and M6/8.STP variants, the BP8.A4 is a versatile accessory for professional terminal assemblies. It is supplied in manufacturer packs of 10 pieces and has a product net weight of approximately 1 g per plug.
Bridging plugs provide a straightforward method of electrically connecting neighbouring terminal blocks without installing separate conductors. This can be particularly useful during panel configuration, commissioning, testing and maintenance where an accessible cross-connection between compatible terminals is required.
The BP8.A4 is engineered specifically for two adjacent 8 mm-pitch terminal blocks equipped for its 4 mm plug interface. Its dedicated design provides a neat and repeatable solution that integrates directly with compatible Entrelec terminal systems.
