Product catalog summary
Introduction
Woertz AG, established in 1928, is a family-owned business specializing in circuitry accessories, installation systems, and electronic control systems. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, focusing on product security, user-friendliness, and ease of handling.
Product Range
Woertz's product offerings include terminals, junction boxes, grounding products, surge protection devices, flat cable installation systems, and electronic modules. Production is based in Muttenz and Hölstein.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The document categorizes EMC components into passive and active types. Passive components include shielding terminals made from materials like aluminum alloy and stainless steel, while active components consist of surge arresters and suppressor terminals for overvoltage protection.
Overvoltages
Overvoltages can be caused by thunderstorms, industrial activities, electrostatic discharges, and nuclear electromagnetic pulses, leading to potential destruction and malfunction of electronic components.
Standards and Protection
International standards guide the testing of electronic appliances' sensitivity to overvoltages. Woertz provides protective solutions for telecommunications, IT, and power supply sectors, including surge arresters and shielding terminals.
Technical Data
Specifications for shielding terminals include dimensions, spring pressure, and packing units. Accessories like earthing terminals are also detailed for specific grounding needs.
Shielding Terminals
Designed for profile bars, these terminals are available in materials such as hardened aluminum alloy and stainless steel, featuring clamping screws and springs to maintain electrical contact without damaging cable shields.
Earthing Terminals
These are made of brass with galvanized steel anchoring studs and nickel-plated brass clamping screws, used for grounding with insulated rail holders and tested for short-time current capacity.
Rail Holders
Made of thermosetting plastic, these holders are used for mounting on profile bars but are not suitable for fastening cables.
Surge Arresters
The "Supersafe" series protects electrical installations from overvoltages, with specifications including rated voltage, current, discharge capacity, and temperature range. They feature an operating indicator for monitoring and are suitable for single-phase and three-phase networks.
Installation Instructions
Detailed instructions emphasize proper grounding and the use of specific rail holders to ensure effective electrical contact and prevent cable shield damage.
Accessories
Includes busbar terminals and suppressor terminals to enhance functionality and ensure safety compliance.
Surge Arrester Specifications
Designed for AC networks up to 1 kHz, with specifications for rated discharge current, maximum discharge current, and long-wave resistance. Products fit different mounting rail sizes per EN 60715 standards.
Varistor Details
Siemens varistors are specified for maximum service voltage, surge current capacity, and continuous capacity, available in types like SIOV-B32K and SIOV-B40K.
Installation and Mounting
Components are designed for standard DIN rail mounting, with specific article numbers for configurations and cross-sections.
Protective Devices
Suppressor terminals and filters protect against high-frequency noise and overvoltages, with technical data on voltage range, rated current, and temperature range.
Additional Features
Indoor protectors eliminate external disturbances, and protective devices for data links and signal lines are specified for service voltage and discharge current.
General Recommendations
Varistors should be mounted in heat-proof, non-combustible boxes, and indoor protectors must be directly connected to protected appliance interfaces for effective grounding.
Specifications for ISDN Applications
Includes article number, application type, rated discharge current, transfer impedance, plug type, and temperature range. The CITEL protective element is designed for ISDN interfaces with modular jack connection technology.
Specifications for Telephone Line Surge Protection
Details article numbers, rated voltages, discharge current, transfer impedance, max transfer rate, response time, and temperature range. These devices feature a two-step protective circuit and flexible installation options.

Introduction Overvoltages Causes and effects Indirect effects of lightning strokes Users of telephone, telematics* and IT systems are not only faced with decreasing reliability, limited operating safety and declining operational availability of these systems, but more and more frequently also with the problem of overvoltages. The two main reasons for this are: - The use of microchip has increased the susceptance to failure, and every year, the number of component parts in microchips goes up at the expense of insulation. Due to the very small insulation distances (µ magnitude), even a minor overvoltage...

Introduction Overvoltages Electrostatic overvoltages Effects of overvoltage that can occur with all four kinds described: Electrostatic discharges are caused by human beings. Human beings have an electrical capacity of 100-300 pf. Walking on carpets with synthetic fiber, they can become charged up to 15 kV and discharge in a few nanoseconds with a current of about 10 Ampere. In particular, highly integrated electronic systems (CMOS...) are very susceptible to this kind of disturbances. Their effect can be a complete destruction of the circuits. - destruction - flashover in semiconductor components...
