"Push-in" Technology
"Push-in" Technology - a "Win-Win" Solution
The benefits of the new range of PKZ motor protections and DIL contactors, with "Push-in" type terminals, are obvious both for technicians and for those responsible for a project's budget. The safe and tool-free connection of the components in the electrical panel simplifies the work of the technicians, and the reduction of up to 50% of the time required for this process makes the company's costs more efficient.
Protections for PKZ engine
Eaton's Moeller series PKZ automatic motor protection circuit breakers combine short-circuit protection and overload protection in a single device. They are available in two versions, covering the entire current range from 0.1 A to 63 A, which saves storage space and simplifies project planning.
Main features:
- Hand-operated motor-protective circuit breaker in accordance with IEC/EN 60947-4-1, VDE 0660 Part 102
- Rotary handle with ON & OFF switch-position indicator
- If used in conjunction with the appropriate accessories, the circuit breaker can be turned into a main switch or emergency-stop switch in accordance with EN 60204 and/or VDE 0113
- Isolating characteristics in accordance with IEC/EN 60947-3
- All setting ranges are short-circuit proof up to 50 kA (400 V)
The Push-in terminals enable safe and easy control-panel wiring with just one click. Thanks to this connection technology that does not require tools, wiring becomes faster, safer and more efficient.

Eaton's Moeller series DIL contactors are powerful, efficient and versatile and can be combined with the full range of overload relays. Those with a DC power supply stand out for their low energy consumption, which makes them more energy efficient and also reduces the size of the power sources.
Main features:
- DILM frame sizes: 45 mm for up to 32 A; 55 mm for up to 72 A; and 90 mm for up to 170 A
- Approvals UL, CSA, Maritime, GOST-R
- Temperature range from -25° C to +60° C
- Contactors up to 38 A can be controlled directly from a PLC
Push-in technology eliminates the need for tools and is trusted by millions of customers around the world. This simple, tool-free wiring method provides a secure connection and a maintenance-free contact point - factors that, together, equate to optimal efficiency in installation and maintenance.

WIN-WIN: Faster, but also cost effective!
A practical test carried out jointly by Eaton and its partners confirmed the considerable time savings that can be obtained with the help of Push-in technology. One of the surprising results of the test was that "Push-in" type terminals not only offer significant time reductions compared to screw terminals, but also compared to spring terminals.
