No. 110 and Krone blocks have different contact geometries. Using the wrong blade will likely damage the block contacts and result in a failed connection.
Punchdown Blades Component Intelligence
Precision termination blades for structured cabling and IDC blocks.
What are Punchdown Blades components?
Punchdown blades are specialized tool inserts used for terminating wires into Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) blocks. Selection depends on the specific block type (e.g., 110, 66, Krone) and whether a cut-side or non-cut-side termination is required for the application.
How to Choose Punchdown Blades Components
Selecting the correct blade ensures consistent termination quality and prevents damage to delicate IDC contacts.
Match the Block Type
Ensure the blade profile (110, 66, Krone, BIX) matches the specific IDC block architecture to avoid contact deformation.
Cut vs. Non-Cut
Choose 'cut' blades for trimming excess wire during termination, or 'non-cut' for daisy-chaining or mid-span taps.
Tool Compatibility
Verify the blade shank fits your specific impact tool handle; many manufacturers use proprietary locking mechanisms.
Material Durability
High-carbon steel blades offer longer service life in high-volume installation environments compared to standard steel.
Reversibility
Consider reversible blades that offer both cut and non-cut options in a single unit for field versatility.
