MK LOGIC RAPID FIX

AJJewsbury

Anyone tried the new MK sockets with lever terminals?

Obvious failing to my eyes is only 3 PE terminals - if you're spurring off from a ring and prefer to have a fly-lead to the back box then you're going to need 4. (OK you could loop one of the c.p.c.s through the back box terminal if you're using reduced size c.p.c.s. (e.g. T&E) - but it's a bit messy and probably isn't going to work with full sized c.p.c.s. as most many back box terminals won't take more than one larger conductor).

    Well in terms of green and yellow,  you could use a marbeling screw prior to injection - it is what wago do for their DIN rail terminals, but the results are not stripes,  more of a badly mixed paint appearance.

     But there is no problem here, the coloured levers are neither terminals nor  insulation they could just as easily be black or pink for all 3 groups …  And even if it wasn't might be cheaper to lobby the BSI to change the standards to match the product, than to redesign it  significantly. That seems to work for AFDDs.
