2026 – World record with SNAP IN. Efficiency that speaks for itself.
500 terminal blocks, 1,000 contact points, 2 minutes 55 seconds:
With SNAP IN, Weidmüller has secured an official
GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title – and has thus impressively demonstrated just how quick and easy tool-free wiring can be.
A record is more than just a personal best. It is yet another proof-of-concept for a connection technology that significantly simplifies and speeds up industrial wiring processes.

The Klippon® Connect S-series terminal blocks bring Weidmüller’s SNAP IN spring connection technology to panel building. The pre-tensioned clamping point accommodates flexible conductors with or without wire-end ferrules. At the trigger point, the mechanism is released automatically, while an audible click confirms the gas-tight connection.
This makes terminal blocks with SNAP IN a cost- and time-saving solution in the control cabinet. No preparation of the conductor, no tools required. Instead, a connection technology designed equally for manual wiring and automated manufacturing processes.
Weidmüller’s SNAP IN terminal blocks speed up safe wiring in the control cabinet. Flexible conductors can be inserted into the pre-tensioned contact point in record time. The spring connection does the rest. As pioneers in the field of control cabinet construction, we have developed SNAP IN, a connection technology that significantly reduces wiring times. However, our other spring-connection technologies for terminal blocks also have their own strengths. Take a look for yourself and find the perfect technology for your plans.
SNAP IN wire connection is the logical evolution of the PUSH IN wire connection for panel building. Flexible conductors can be connected directly without the need for wire-end ferrules, which reduces the time taken to prepare the conductors and carry out the wiring.
The PUSH IN connection reduces your wiring time thanks to its proven direct-plug-in technology. High conductor pull-out forces combined with easy handling make it a versatile solution for a wide range of conductor types.
Tension clamp technology is a universal contact system for all common conductor connection types. Their high degree of flexibility across a range of wire cross-sections and applications makes them a proven connection option.
The patented Weidmüller clamping yoke system ensures maximum contact security in screwed connections. Its easy handling makes clamping yoke technology a universal screwed connection solution for all conductor types.
SNAP IN terminal blocks are intuitive to use and do not need special training. The wiring works right away, even if this is your first time working with this technology. What makes it so easy to use in practice:
The terminal blocks are delivered with pre-loaded springs. The switching status of the pre-loaded contact point is signalled by the position of the pusher.
The stripped conductor can be inserted easily and safely into the contact point without further preparation.
The conductor is contacted in the clamping point with a clear click. The triggered contact point is also signalled visually by an increase in the pusher height.
By pressing the pusher until the “second click”, the wire can be easily released and the connection point is ready for the new wiring.
The clamping point is supplied pre-tensioned and holds the conductor securely in place without any effort.
The conductor is only made to make contact once it is correctly positioned in the clamping point. This prevents wiring errors.
Our SNAP IN technology uses optical and acoustic status indicators to signal secure contacts.
With automated production processes, errors can be avoided, workflows accelerated and costs reduced. This can be achieved most efficiently with coordinated solutions that have been carefully thought out down to the last detail. The contours of the new SNAP IN S-Series terminal blocks have been designed to be easily gripped and mounted by industrial robots. Automated rail assembly is therefore already a reality today.
Marking terminal blocks is usually a time-consuming process with a high risk of error. For this reason, the design of the SNAP IN terminal block in the S-Series has been optimised for fully automatic laser marking, bringing a time saving of up to 90%. In combination with the Weidmüller Configurator (WMC), the Klippon® Automated RailLaser achieves the highest possible marking quality and lowest possible error rate.
Full order books and a growing lack of skilled workers are driving digitalisation and automation in control cabinet production. That is why Klippon® Connect SNAP IN terminal blocks are already prepared for tomorrow's automation processes. The spring-loaded connection technology used in the terminal blocks facilitates the use of automated wiring processes and prevents wiring errors. In collaboration with Komax, Zuken and Armbruster Engineering, Weidmüller offers manual, assisted and fully automated solutions and services for panel building through the “Smart Cabinet Building” initiative.
With the S-series, Klippon® Connect offers a comprehensive portfolio of terminal blocks with SNAP IN spring connections. From feed-through terminal blocks and multi-tier terminal blocks to the corresponding PE terminal blocks, all standard designs are available. For signal wiring, the portfolio is complemented by fuse terminal blocks as well as disconnect terminal blocks with 2, 3 and 4 connections. The S-Series is fully compatible with the proven A-Series, allowing existing accessories, cross-connections and marking systems to be used without modification.
The terminal blocks are delivered with pre-loaded springs. The position of the pusher displays whether the contact point is open or closed.
The stripped conductor can be inserted easily and safely into the contact point without further preparation.
The conductor contacts in the clamping point with a clearly audible click. The secure connection can also be identified visually by the rise in the pusher.
By pressing the pusher until the second click, the conductor can be easily released and the contact point can be preloaded for new wiring.

For decades, we have been at the forefront of industrial connectivity in the panel building sector. In 1948, we launched the world’s first plastic terminal block. Today, with SNAP IN technology, we are setting the next milestone for secure and consistently reliable connections.
Whether it’s machine and factory automation, building infrastructure or energy technology – terminal blocks with SNAP IN are used wherever wiring needs to be fast, secure and ready for the future. With the S-series, we are writing the next chapter in our success story. For the first time, a terminal block combines tool-free wiring with extensive automation capabilities. Efficiency in wiring, right from the very first click.
SNAP IN technology is not only used in terminal blocks. It also enables tool-free and time-saving wiring in other Weidmüller product areas. In addition to the Klippon® Connect terminal blocks, two further product families are available with SNAP IN technology.
