Thanks to digitization and automation, panel building is developing rapidly. By purchasing a Weidmüller RailAssembler, we have already taken the first step towards automated panel building. Terminal blocks with innovative SNAP IN technology are already paving the way towards automated wiring in the near future.
The revolutionary SNAP IN connection technology meets all the requirements of today's industrial customers
Thanks to the preloaded spring, SNAP IN can be connected as quickly as a snap of the fingers
Material-saving wiring without tools and time-consuming crimping of wire-end ferrules.
Safe and permanently reliable connections
With the innovative SNAP IN connection, fully automated wiring processes can become a reality.
Weidmüller enjoys a reputation among industrial customers as a pioneering company. Since the introduction of the world's first plastic-insulated terminal block in 1948, the company has been an innovation leader in industrial connection technology. With our latest development, SNAP IN connection technology, we are continuing this success story. SNAP IN delivers maximum simplification and acceleration of wiring processes in industrial environments – and is even suitable for robot-assisted wiring. This makes products with SNAP IN connection technology extremely attractive for a growing number of future-oriented customers.
Control cabinet manufacturers are under enormous pressure to innovate and compete, which makes them extremely demanding customers for electrical distributors. With SNAP IN products, you can support this target audience in simplifying and automating their processes and making them more cost-efficient as a result. In addition, for the first time you can offer them the opportunity to realize the long-awaited dream of simple, fully automated wiring. The Klippon® Connect SNAP IN terminal blocks in particular have been optimized for automated assembly by industrial robots. With SNAP IN, you provide a solution to all the customers who are planning automated assembly and wiring in the near future.
SNAP IN offers the possibility to connect flexible and fine-stranded conductors without crimped-on ferrules quickly and easily without tools. The stripped conductor is simply inserted into the clamping point until the spring mechanism releases with a clearly audible click. This creates a vibration-proof, gas-tight, and permanently reliable connection. A colored pusher allows for visual inspection of the connection. If it is actuated, the clamping point is released immediately and the spring is pretensioned for rewiring. A standard screwdriver is all that's needed. The innovative SNAP IN technology was awarded the "German Innovation Award 2022" last autumn.
With SNAP IN products, you accelerate your customers' assembly processes. With consistent available data, you also simplify engineering and production. One example of this is OMNIMATE® 4.0 PCB connectors and PCB terminals with SNAP IN technology. They can be assembled directly with the OMNIMATE® 4.0 PCB configurator according to customer requirements. The modular concept enables customized production and fast delivery – within just 72 hours. No other product offers more rapid or customized service for your customers.
Weidmüller currently has the widest product range with SNAP IN connection technology on the market. It includes terminal blocks for control cabinet manufacturers as well as heavy-duty connectors for the railway and wind industries. Popular products such as the Klippon® Connect terminal blocks and OMNIMATE® 4.0 PCB connectors are also included. This comprehensive product range enables electrical distributors to put together customized SNAP IN solutions for every customer from a single source – and with maximum compatibility.
