Why Choose the TE Connectivity ZK2.5-PE-3P PI-Spring Earth Terminal?
The TE Connectivity ZK2.5-PE-3P, part number 1SNK705151R0000, is a compact three-position PI-Spring protective earth terminal block designed for reliable grounding connections in industrial control panels, machinery and electrical distribution systems. Part of the TE Connectivity ENTRELEC SNK Series, it combines efficient spring termination with a space-saving DIN rail format.
The ZK2.5-PE-3P provides three connection positions within a single-level ground terminal, making it particularly useful where multiple conductors need to be incorporated into a protective earth circuit. Its PI-Spring connection system enables fast and dependable conductor termination without conventional screw clamping, while the green and yellow housing provides immediate visual identification of the earth connection.
Designed around a 2.5 mm² nominal wire size, the terminal accepts flexible conductors from 0.22–2.5 mm² and rigid stranded conductors from 0.2–4 mm². Its compact 5.2 mm spacing, TH35 DIN rail compatibility and robust polyamide construction make it well suited to high-density industrial panel installations.
