RTB Types
There are three types of RTBs:

Cage
Clamp—catalog number 1756-TBCH
•
NEMA
Clamp—catalog number 1756-TBNH
•
Spring
Clamp—catalog number 1756-TBSH or TBS6H
Each RTP comes with housing. Wire the RTB with a 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) maximum
screwdriver before installing it onto the module.
Cage Clamp
Follow these steps to wire a cage clamp.
1. Strip 9.5 mm (3.8 in.) maximum length of wire.
2. Insert the wire into the open terminal on the side.
3. Turn the screw clockwise to close the terminal on the wire.
The open section at the bottom of the RTB is called the strain relief area. The
wiring from the connections can be grouped with a plastic tie.
