Entrelec Terminal Blocks by ABB offer a unique screw-less connections system called the ADO System. This system is comprised of two complementary pieces: An insulation displacement connection (IDC) terminal block, and a tool that cuts, strips, and inserts the wire into the connector. This systems provides 80% faster, stronger, vibration & corrosion proof connections.

All the popular terminal block functions are available. 100% reliable connections using this unique ADO tool. LEAN engineer your next control system design with ADO blocks & ABB's Absolute Rail Design program.

Using our ADO System, you'll take advantage of the following benefits:

• Time –Saving: (80% faster than screw connections)
• Error-Proof Cutting, Striping and insertion of Wires is guaranteed with our tool
• Vibration and Corrosion Proof
• No more wiring errors: our tool eliminates the "Installer Fatigue factor"
• Wire sizes ranging from 24AWG TO 12AWG
• Accepts up to Two identical Wires per clamp

The ADO System takes the electrical connection into a new era and offers the most complete and secure range on the market.

ADO System is the only wiring concept where a connection is completely independent from operator.

• The tool is locked on the block during the whole wiring process
• The tool is the guarantee of a simple, good and secure connection (binary system)
• The tool ensures reproduction of connection quality, connection after connection, without operator fatigue

…..all this within few seconds only!

In addition, the following no longer exists.

• Stripping operations overlooked
• Stripping length too long
• Tightening torque not respected
• Ferrules poorly crimped

The ADO Systems mounts on industry standard DIN rail. It also offers combination connections of both screw clamp and IDC in one terminal block. In addition to general purpose IDC terminal blocks, the ADO System is used in Mini terminal blocks (Mini blocks for DIN 2) and ATEX product line. ABB absolute marking system provides a fast and accurate method to identify all your connections.
