The Fixed Bridge FBI 10-10 from Phoenix Contact is a component for connection technology in industrial electrical engineering. With a pole count of 10 and a pitch of 10 mm, it is specifically designed for use in terminal block constructions, where a permanent electrical connection between multiple connection points is required. The bridge is insulated and features a silver-colored appearance, typical for metallic components in electrical installations. It ensures a secure and durable connection of conductors or cables on a terminal strip, thereby guaranteeing electrical continuity between multiple positions.

Fixed Bridge

The term Fixed Bridge describes a component that has no moving parts or switching functions, but instead establishes a permanent electrical connection between the connected points. Unlike switchable bridges or plug-in bridges, the connection remains active at all times once the bridge is inserted into the terminal. This is particularly advantageous in systems with constant current flow or when connecting lines in enclosures.

Pitch 10 mm

The pitch of 10 mm corresponds to the standard spacing between individual terminals in a terminal block strip. This value is crucial for mechanical fit and correct installation in standard plug-in terminal strips. As a result, the bridge is compatible with all terminals supporting the 10-mm pitch, enabling broad applicability in industrial electrical installations.

Pole Count 10

With a pole count of 10, the bridge connects ten adjacent connection points in a row. This allows for the parallel connection of multiple conductors, for example, when supplying multiple consumers with the same voltage or when creating grounding connections across multiple terminals. The high pole count reduces the number of required individual connections and increases installation efficiency.

Insulated Design

The bridge is insulated, meaning the electrical contacts are surrounded by an insulating plastic sheath. This protects against unintended contact and short circuits, especially in environments with increased risk of mechanical damage or moisture. The insulation contributes to safety and is a standard feature for components in industrial systems.

Compatibility and Accessories

The Fixed Bridge is specifically designed for use in terminal block constructions with a 10-mm pitch. As suitable accessory, the CUTFOX FB 1205985 cutting tool is offered, which can be used for precise processing of cables or conductors to ensure a clean and secure connection at the terminal.

Color and Material

The bridge has a silver-colored surface, indicating a metallic base material, likely galvanized or coated metal, which ensures electrical conductivity and mechanical stability. The color is functional and matches the typical appearance of terminal components in electrical installations.

Application in Electrical Installation

The bridge is typically used in enclosures, control systems, or distribution boxes where a firm, reliable connection between multiple terminals is required. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring high contact stability and low maintenance, such as in automation technology or when installing fuse boxes. Installation is done by simply inserting the bridge into the corresponding terminal positions of the terminal block.

Operational Advantages

Due to the fixed connection and insulated design, the bridge offers high reliability and safety in operation. Installation is quick and requires no additional tools, except for the cutting tool if cables need to be pre-cut. The bridge reduces the number of required individual connections, thereby contributing to installation efficiency.
