The Fixed Bridge FBRI 10-5 N from Phoenix Contact is a component for connection technology in industrial applications. It is used for electrical connection of multiple conductors via a common bridge in a terminal block. The model is 10-pole and features a pitch of 5.2 mm, enabling compatible mounting in standard terminal blocks. The bridge is insulated to ensure safe electrical separation between individual poles and has a silver-colored surface, typical for metallic components in electrical engineering.

Fixed Bridge is the central term for this product, as it establishes an unchangeable electrical connection between multiple connection points. In contrast to removable bridges, which can be manually removed, this bridge is permanently mounted and serves for permanent connection. The pole count of 10 means it connects ten connection points simultaneously, which is useful in systems with multiple parallel conductors. The pitch of 5.2 mm is an industry standard, enabling mounting in terminal blocks with corresponding spacing. The insulation ensures that individual poles are electrically separated, preventing short circuits.

Applications include mounting in enclosures, control systems, and other electrical installations where a secure, permanent connection of multiple conductors is required. The bridge is used in combination with terminal blocks to, for example, keep multiple conductors at a common potential, such as in grounding or neutral conductors. The silver-colored finish is typical for metallic components, often made of galvanized steel or similar material to prevent corrosion.

Functions and equipment in detail include fixed mounting, insulation of individual poles, and 10-pole configuration. The bridge is inserted into the terminal block, where the contacts of the bridge connect with the contacts of the block. The insulation prevents individual poles from coming into contact, which is especially important when the bridge is used in a circuit with different voltages or potentials. The 10-pole configuration enables simultaneous connection of ten conductors, increasing mounting efficiency.

Technology explained simply shows that the bridge is made of a metallic material that is electrically conductive, and the insulation is made of a non-conductive material that separates individual contacts. The pitch of 5.2 mm is a geometric standard ensuring mechanical fit in terminal blocks.

Compatibility and accessories include use with terminal blocks featuring a pitch of 5.2 mm. Suitable accessories include the cutting tool CUTFOX FB 1205985, used for precise processing of conductors or cables to ensure a clean connection in the block. The bridge itself is not connected to additional components but is mounted directly into the block.

Mounting and installation are performed by inserting the bridge into the corresponding terminal block. The bridge is positioned so that its contacts align with the contacts of the block. The insulation ensures no unintended electrical connections occur. Mounting requires no additional tools, except possibly the cutting tool for preparing the conductors.

Advantages in operation include secure, permanent connection of multiple conductors, prevention of short circuits through insulation, and mounting efficiency due to the 10-pole configuration. The bridge is designed for use in industrial environments where reliable electrical connections are required. Use in combination with the cutting tool CUTFOX FB 1205985 enables precise preparation of conductors, improving connection quality.

The bridge is not connected to additional components but serves as an independent connection element in terminal blocks.
