TE Connectivity 1SNA166964R0000 TC-TH35-VL is an ESSAILEC 400 V, 8 A voltage test socket with short-circuited make-before-break contacts, screw-clamp connections and TH35 DIN rail mounting for measurement, calibration and distribution applications.
Why Choose the TE Connectivity 1SNA166964R0000 TC-TH35-VL ESSAILEC Voltage Socket?
The TE Connectivity 1SNA166964R0000, also identified as TC-TH35-VL, is a specialised ESSAILEC voltage test socket with short-circuited contacts designed for measurement, calibration and electrical distribution applications. Part of the TE Connectivity / Entrelec ESSAILEC range, it provides a dedicated test interface for voltage circuits within switchgear, metering, protection and industrial electrical systems.
The TC-TH35-VL uses a make-before-break contact principle. During operation, the circuit is automatically shorted when a compatible plug is inserted and closes automatically when the plug is removed. This controlled switching arrangement supports safe and efficient access to measurement circuits during testing, commissioning and maintenance procedures.
Designed specifically for TH35 DIN rail mounting, the socket uses screw-clamp connections and has compact dimensions of approximately 44 mm wide, 80 mm high and 49 mm deep. The grey housing identifies it as part of the ESSAILEC voltage range, while compatibility with several ESSAILEC covers and test plugs provides flexibility when configuring a complete test system.

Make-Before-Break Voltage Circuit Testing
The ESSAILEC voltage range is designed to provide controlled access to electrical measurement and protection circuits during calibration, testing and maintenance. The TC-TH35-VL incorporates short-circuited contacts operating according to the make-before-break principle, allowing the circuit state to be controlled automatically as a compatible test plug is inserted or removed.
Its TH35 rail mounting format makes the TC-TH35-VL particularly suitable for integration into electrical panels where conventional DIN rail installation is preferred. Combined with screw-clamp wiring, compatible covers and ESSAILEC test plugs, it provides a modular solution for building accessible voltage measurement and testing circuits.
Typical Applications
Voltage measurement and calibration circuits.
Instrument transformer secondary circuits.
Electrical metering and monitoring systems.
Protection relay testing and commissioning.
Switchgear and electrical distribution panels.
Substation protection and control equipment.
