VISHAY ESTA PhMKP POWER CAPACITORS + ESTAspring
World’s First Terminal Block With Lever-Operated Spring Connection
INTRODUCTION
Time is money, and in the control cabinet the wiring of capacitors makes up a considerable part of the
assembly time.
Most tubular power capacitors have an IP20 terminal block with a screw connection. Vishay is now
introducing a new generation of power capacitors with fast connection technology. Completely screwless,
this new technology is significantly faster and simpler through spring force and lever actuation. Due
to the lever position, a simple check for the completeness of all connections is possible. The necessary
connection force results automatically, free from torque specifications.
In addition, fast connection technology offers maximum contact reliability over the entire service life of
the capacitors, and is completely maintenance-free without the need to tighten screws. Particularly in
the case of environments with permanent vibrations, such as those experienced in wind power plants,
valuable investments remain secure against irreparable damage caused by loose connections.
APPLICATIONS
