Wiring Your Controller 3-3
Wiring without Spade Lugs
When wiring without spade lugs, it is recommended to keep the
finger-safe covers in place. Loosen the terminal screw and route the
wires through the opening in the finger-safe cover. Tighten the
terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Wiring with Spade Lugs
The diameter of the terminal screw head is 5.5 mm (0.220 in.). The
input and output terminals of the MicroLogix 1500 base unit are
designed for a 6.35mm (0.25 in.) wide spade (standard for #6 screw
for up to 14 AWG) or a 4 mm (metric #4) fork terminal.
When using spade lugs, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to pry the
finger-safe cover from the terminal blocks as shown below. Then
loosen the terminal screw.
