M6/8.P Entrelec Ground Terminal 6mm² 1SNA165114R1700

The M6/8.P (alternate code 1SNA165114R1700) is a 6mm² ground terminal block manufactured by TE Connectivity (Entrelec), designed for reliable earthing connections in industrial control panels and switchgear assemblies.

This screw clamp ground terminal block provides a secure, low-resistance earth connection to the DIN rail, making it an essential component in any well-engineered electrical panel. Its distinctive green and yellow colouring ensures instant identification of earth circuits, while its robust Polyamide 6.6 construction delivers long-term reliability across demanding industrial environments.

Key Features

• Screw clamp connection: Delivers a vibration-resistant, secure contact with no need for special tooling — just a standard 4.5mm flat-blade screwdriver.
• Direct rail earth bonding: The terminal connects conductors directly to the mounting rail, providing a reliable and compliant ground path without additional wiring.
• Flexible cable compatibility (0.5–6mm²): Accepts a wide range of flexible conductor sizes, and up to 10mm² rigid/stranded — reducing the need for ferrules or additional termination hardware.
• Multi-rail mounting: Snaps onto G32, TH35-7.5, and TH35-15 DIN rails, giving installers full flexibility in panel layout and rail type.
• High short-time withstand current: Rated at 720A for 1 second, making it suitable for circuits where fault current protection is critical.
• UL 94V-0 flammability rating: The Polyamide 6.6 body resists flame propagation, an important safety requirement in enclosed control panel applications.
• Green and yellow colouring: Immediately identifiable as an earth terminal, aiding compliance with wiring regulations and speeding up panel inspection.
• Compact 8mm pitch: A slim profile that maximises terminal density within the panel without compromising on conductor capacity.

Applications

The M6/8.P is widely used in industrial control panels, machine tool cabinets, building services switchgear, and process automation enclosures wherever a dedicated earth terminal is required. It is particularly suited to applications involving motor control, power distribution, and instrumentation wiring, where a reliable, traceable earth connection is essential for both safety and regulatory compliance. The terminal's compatibility with symmetrical and asymmetrical DIN rails makes it a versatile choice across a broad range of panel building and OEM manufacturing environments.

Standards and Approvals

The M6/8.P carries CE, cUL, CSA, BV, EAC, and RMRS certifications, complies with IEC 60947-1, meets RoHS requirements under EU Directive 2002/95/EC, and is manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.

Manufactured by TE Connectivity (Entrelec), made in Poland. Order code: M6/8.P / 1SNA165114R1700.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cable sizes can be connected to the M6/8.P?

The M6/8.P accepts flexible conductors from 0.5 to 6mm² and rigid or stranded conductors from 0.5 to 10mm², with a wire stripping length of 12mm.

What DIN rails is the M6/8.P compatible with?

It mounts on G32 (32×15mm), TH35-7.5 (35×7.5mm), and TH35-15 (35×15mm) rails in accordance with IEC 60715.

What tightening torque should be used when wiring the M6/8.P?

The recommended tightening torque per IEC 60947-1 is 0.8 N·m, using a 4.5mm flat-blade screwdriver.

How does the M6/8.P differ from a standard feed-through terminal block?

Unlike a feed-through terminal, the M6/8.P is specifically designed as a ground terminal — it bonds the connected conductor directly to the DIN rail, providing the earth path. It is colour-coded green and yellow for immediate identification.
