Schneider 140 XTS 001 00 | Quantum Terminal Strip 20-Pin

The 140 XTS 001 00 provides field wiring connections for Quantum I/O modules. This terminal strip mates directly with the front connector of any Quantum module. It allows engineers to connect sensors, actuators, and field devices securely. Consequently, you can wire an entire rack without touching the electronic modules.

You can remove or insert this strip while the PLC remains powered. The 140 XTS 001 00 features screw-type terminals for reliable wire retention. Each terminal accepts solid or stranded wire from 0.2 to 2.5 mm². Therefore, installation remains flexible for various field wiring requirements.

Physical Construction and Terminal Layout

The strip contains twenty individual terminal positions in a single row. The 140 XTS 001 00 numbers each position clearly for easy identification. A polarized housing prevents incorrect insertion into the Quantum module. The unit includes two mounting screws for secure attachment to the module.

This terminal strip contains no active electronic components whatsoever. The 140 XTS 001 00 serves purely as a passive wiring interface. It stores no energy and requires no power supply for operation. Below is a complete breakdown of its technical characteristics.

Interface Connection and Mating Details

A 20-pin male header connects the strip to the Quantum I/O module. The uses a friction lock mechanism for preliminary retention. Two metal jackscrews provide the final secure mounting to the module housing. This dual-retention design prevents accidental disconnection from vibration.

You can rewire the strip without removing it from the module. The 140 XTS 001 00 allows access to all screw terminals from the front face. A removable label holder fits on the strip for wire marking purposes. Therefore, maintenance teams can trace circuits quickly during troubleshooting.

Operational Benefits for System Integration

This terminal strip simplifies replacement of faulty I/O modules significantly. You just unplug the 140 XTS 001 00 from the old module. Then you insert it into the new module without rewiring anything. This feature saves hours of downtime during emergency repairs. Engineers greatly appreciate this convenience for legacy Quantum systems.
