This 16-channel terminal block facilitates the connection between field instruments—such as pressure transmitters and flowmeters—and the control system. By employing a specialized pressure clamp mechanism, the ATA4S-10 eliminates the need for manual screw tightening, significantly accelerating installation and enhancing connection stability. It provides a hardened layer of protection for sensitive I\/O electronics through integrated surge absorption, making it a standard for mission-critical industrial loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePart Number Breakdown: ATA4S\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"firstRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuffix\/Code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eATA4S\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e16-Channel Analog Input Terminal Block\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStandard type with integrated surge absorber\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATA4S-10 meets rigorous Japanese engineering standards for signal fidelity:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eATA4S-10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Channels:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e16 Analog Input channels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePressure clamp (Tool-free wiring)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurge Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIntegrated surge absorber for every channel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironmental Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eISA G3 standard (Corrosion resistant)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e114 mm × 32.6 mm × 60.5 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.2 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYokogawa ADMAG series and CENTUM VP Analog I\/O Modules\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100% Brand New and Original\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJapan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineering Advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRapid Tool-Free Termination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe pressure clamp design allows technicians to insert stripped wires directly into the terminal housing.
