MVP 2023 Ausman Posted July 29, 2015 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi all, yet again I have had a dud screw/cage in a terminal plug I was fitting up on a 120. It is annoying when the screw won't even pick up a tiny amount of pressure, let alone what I normally tighten things to on bootlace pins without any trouble at all. And before you all harp about ham-fisted I must be....I'm not, so shhhhhh! Definitely a dud and a big problem when it is the only one you have onsite and you are faced with a 300km round trip because of a badly made screw/thread worth maybe 1/2 a cent! Over the years I have sourced a few different types as spares, but even though they all are supposedly to a standard, their quality of fit/match to the Unitronics ones is not quite right. Mostly just a tiny bit tight on the shell. I have found this post : http://forum.unitronics.com/index.php?/topic/882-vision-v130-replacement-io-pluggable-terminal-blocks/?hl=terminal+blocks but what I really want is for the creators to reveal their supplier so that I can get some spares direct that I know will fit correctly. Or anyone else to suggest a block they have found that fits perfectly. And perhaps we could start putting combo slot/phillips heads into them as well? Hmmm? cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 The connectors for all of our I/O connections on the V120 and our other controllers are made by Phoenix Contact.. If possible I would suggest contacting Phoenix contact since they may be able to provide you with the proper part numbers for the desired terminal blocks. I have included their USA website link: https://www.phoenixcontact.com/online/portal/us?1dmy&urile=wcm%3apath%3a/usen/web/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socaoh Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hello, I have the same problem at V130. Its very difficult because are a lot in the row. I solve this pushing the both at same time. Maybe is better to split in 2. Blagoja Sotirovski Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
