What is JHT5 Distribution Terminal Block?

The JHT5 Distribution Terminal Block is a high-performance power distribution solution designed for safely connecting and distributing electricity through copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors. Manufactured using flame-retardant PA (nylon) housing and featuring a corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass conductive core, this terminal block is engineered to deliver stable electrical performance even under high loads and harsh environments.


This terminal block supports a range of conductor sizes:

Copper: 2.5–50mm²

Aluminum: 6–50mm²

Rated Voltage: 800V

Rated Current: 160A (Cu) / 145A (Al)

It's available in multiple models and colors, including yellow/green (for grounding), grey, and blue/grey, with optional configurations for single or dual-pole connections. All models are compatible with C45 DIN rail mounting systems (TH35-7.5), ensuring easy integration into industrial distribution panels.

How to Use the JHT5 Distribution Terminal Block

Step 1: Preparation

Ensure that the terminal block is mounted onto a DIN rail securely. The back slot of the block fits perfectly on TH35-7.5 rails, providing a firm mechanical hold.

Step 2: Strip the Wires

Strip the insulation from copper or aluminum conductors according to the recommended strip length. For optimal connection, the conductor should be fully exposed and clean.

Step 3: Insert the Conductors

Insert the stripped wire into the wiring hole. The JHT5 features nickel-plated brass blocks with chamfered entry holes for smooth insertion and anti-slip structure.

Step 4: Tighten the Screws

Use a 5mm inner hexagon screwdriver to tighten the terminal screws. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent overheating or disconnection.

Step 5: Cover the Unit

Snap the colored PC cover plate back onto the housing. The cover is not only insulating but also provides visual guidance for wire identification and enhances safety.
