You can also connect a combination of two conductors of up to 1.0 mm each to a screw-type
or spring-loaded terminal. You must use special wire end ferrules for this purpose. Two types
and manufacturers of such ferrules are given below:
• Phoenix TWIN Type no. 32 00 81 0, for 2 x 1 mm
2
• AMP Order no. 966 144-4, for 2 x 1 mm

Note
You must use shielded cables for the analog modules (see Section A.5).
