Why Choose the TE Connectivity ZK2.5-S PI-Spring Disconnect Terminal Block?
The TE Connectivity ZK2.5-S, manufacturer designation ZK2.5-S-R1, is a compact PI-Spring disconnect terminal block with knife-blade disconnection designed for testing, isolation and circuit distribution in industrial control and marshalling panels. Part of the TE Connectivity ENTRELEC SNK series, this grey terminal combines convenient circuit disconnection with reliable spring-force conductor termination.
Its integrated disconnect blade enables a circuit to be opened without removing connected conductors, simplifying commissioning, testing, troubleshooting and maintenance. The terminal's profile is aligned with compatible ZK2.5-SF fuse terminals, helping create neat and consistent terminal rows in marshalling cabinets and automation systems.
With a 6 mm spacing, the ZK2.5-S is rated at 20 A and 630 V to IEC and accepts rigid stranded conductors up to 4 mm² / 12 AWG. Its grey polyamide housing, IP20 protection and compatibility with standard TH35 DIN rails make it a practical choice for professional industrial wiring applications requiring convenient circuit isolation.

Convenient Circuit Isolation with PI-Spring Technology
Disconnect terminal blocks allow individual circuits to be opened for testing, measurement, commissioning or maintenance without disconnecting the field wiring. The ZK2.5-S incorporates a knife-blade disconnect into a compact PI-Spring terminal, allowing technicians to isolate a circuit quickly while leaving conductors securely terminated.
The ENTRELEC SNK design also aligns the ZK2.5-S profile with the ZK2.5-SF fuse terminal family, helping simplify circuit distribution in marshalling cabinets and supporting consistent terminal-row construction. Its 6 mm footprint and spring-force connections make it especially useful where compact dimensions, efficient wiring and straightforward circuit isolation are required.
