Based on technical industrial databases, the part number **3201848** typically refers to a **Ground Terminal Block** (specifically from the Phoenix Contact CLIPLINE series). These components are essential in industrial control panels and electronic assemblies for safety and circuit organization. ### Technical Specifications The following table outlines the general technical characteristics of the 3201848 terminal block: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Ground / Earth Terminal Block | | **Connection Method** | Push-in connection (tool-free wiring) | | **Number of Levels** | 1 | | **Number of Connections** | 2 | | **Nominal Cross Section** | 1.5 mm² | | **Color** | Green-Yellow (Standard for Grounding) | | **Mounting Type** | DIN Rail (NS 35/7,5 or NS 35/15) | | **Material** | Polyamide (PA) | --- ### Key Features and Functions 1. **Safety Grounding:** The primary function is to provide a low-resistance path to the ground. This ensures that in the event of a fault, the current is safely directed to the earth, preventing electric shock or equipment damage. 2. **Push-in Technology:** It allows for quick wiring. Rigid conductors or conductors with ferrules can be inserted directly without the need for a screwdriver. 3. **Mechanical Stability:** The metal foot of the terminal block makes a direct electrical connection with the DIN rail, which acts as the grounding busbar. 4. **Durability:** Built to withstand industrial environments, featuring high vibration resistance and flame-retardant materials (UL 94 V0 rating). ### Application Examples * **Control Cabinets:** Used to organize grounding wires from various sensors and actuators. * **Automation Systems:** Ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) by grounding shields. * **Power Distribution:** Providing a common ground point for modular electronic components. --- ### Wiring Example (Pseudo-Code Representation) While this is a physical hardware part, it is often represented in E-Plan or CAD software.
