Which wires fit Adels-Contact 2000/12 DS?

Fine-stranded, stranded or solid conductors of 0.5-22.0 mm² (14-6 AWG); the rated cross-section is 16 mm².

What does the wire protector do?

It sits between the screw and the conductor, so the screw presses on the protector plate instead of cutting into the wire - important with fine-stranded conductors.

What current and voltage is it rated for?

76 A and 500 V, at an ambient temperature of up to 85 °C.

Is it UL approved?

Yes - the DS strips carry UL and CSA approvals as well as EN 60998.
