The ZEW 35 end angle from Weidmüller is an accessory for terminal blocks, specifically designed for mounting on a support rail. It serves as an end cap and stabilizing element at the end of a terminal block row, preventing the entire assembly from slipping. Due to its shape and secure fastening, the end angle ensures a permanently stable fit on the support rail, which is particularly important in industrial applications subject to mechanical stress or vibrations.

Applications

The ZEW 35 end angle is used in electrical installation and industrial connection technology where terminal blocks are mounted on a support rail. It is suitable for installations in production environments, machine building, automation technology, and other areas where stable and secure mounting of terminals is required. It is typically used at the end of a terminal block row to fix the positioning and prevent unintended shifting.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The end angle features integrated marking options, allowing the attachment of group markers. These markers facilitate identification and assignment of terminal block rows, simplifying maintenance and servicing. Additionally, the end angle includes a receptacle for test plugs, supporting electrical testing and measurements on the terminal block row. The combination of stabilization and functionality for marking and testing makes the end angle a useful component in complex control systems.

Technology Explained Simply

The ZEW 35 end angle is a mechanical component designed to provide a secure anchoring of the terminal block row through its shape and attachment to the support rail. The material selection and construction are designed to withstand the demands of industrial environments. The integrated marking and test plug receptacles are directly incorporated into the design, eliminating the need for additional components to utilize these functions. Installation requires no additional tools or mounting aids — the end angle is simply snapped onto the support rail and holds securely through form-fit.

Compatibility and Accessories

The ZEW 35 end angle is specifically designed for use with terminal blocks mounted on a support rail. It is compatible with group markers available in specified dimensions, such as the EM 8/30 connector marker (30x8 mm), the ZGB 15 (15x7 mm), the ZGB 30 (32x7 mm), the DEK 5/5 MC NE WS (5x5 mm), as well as the WAD 5 MC NE WS and WAD 5 MC NE GE terminal markers (33.3x5 mm). These markers can be directly inserted into the designated openings of the end angle to clearly identify the terminal block row. The test plug receptacle allows direct connection of measuring instruments for diagnostics and maintenance.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting the end angle is done by simply snapping it onto the support rail at the end of the terminal block row. No additional fastening or tools are required. The shape of the end angle ensures a secure fit through form-fit, preventing the terminal block row from slipping. Installation is quick and requires no special skills. Markers and test plugs can be inserted directly into the designated openings after mounting the end angle.

Operational Advantages

The ZEW 35 end angle improves the stability of the entire terminal block arrangement, increasing the reliability of electrical connections. The integrated marking options simplify identification and maintenance, especially in complex control systems. The direct receptacle for test plugs reduces inspection and measurement time, as no additional adapters or fastening elements are needed. The tool-free installation speeds up setup and reduces error sources.
