Compactor Electrical Accessories & Hardware

What this page covers

Electrical accessories are the unglamorous components that make every compactor work — terminal blocks that connect wiring to controls, DIN rail that mounts the components, fuse blocks that protect circuits, timer relays that delay cycle operations, control relays that switch logic signals. Each is cheap; each is critical when it fails.

PRT stocks the most commonly-replaced electrical accessories: terminal blocks (screw-clamp and spring-clamp), DIN rail in standard widths, control wire in standard gauges and colors, fuse blocks and CC/Class CC fuses, miniature control relays (8-pin, 11-pin), timer relays (on-delay, off-delay), and shrink tubing.

How to choose

Order by component category (terminal blocks, DIN rail, wire, fuses, relays, timers) and the specific function. Most accessories use industry-standard formats — PRT replacements drop in to existing panels.

For control panel rebuilds, consider standing-inventory kits — PRT can ship a control-accessories starter kit with the most-replaced items for compactor service.
