Conductor Pull-Out Forces
The clamping units screwless terminal
blocks must withstand the pull-out forces as
follows:

to the cross-sectional area.
During the test, pulling force applied without jerking, for one minute, the connected conductor. During the test, the
conductor must neither slip out the clamping unit, nor break near the clamping unit.5 mm² (16 AWG) and 100 for conductor with cross section mm²

Safety requirements for screw-clamp and
screwless clamping units for electrical cop-
per conductors
The pull-out test simulates the mechanical stress the clamping unit when, for example, the installer pushes the conductor aside better
access/operate the adjacent clamping unit, verifies the conductor connected properly briefly pulling it. The values specified these standards are the same for both screw clamp and spring clamp terminal blocks.5
