The SLV 145604 longitudinal connector joins two lengths of EUTRAC 3-phase track in a straight line. Silver-grey, 10 cm long, with an M13 internal thread.
Two functions in one part
The first is obvious: extending the track. EUTRAC is sold in lengths; this connector butts them together and maintains continuity of all three phases and the earth conductor, so fittings on either side of the joint behave identically and can still be switched between phases.
The second is what sets this model apart from a plain joiner: the M13 internal thread lets you hang something below the track. A wire suspension or a pendant luminaire's suspension screws into it – so the point where two lengths meet also becomes a hanging point, with no extra fixing into the ceiling.
Where that matters
In retail displays and hospitality, track over a counter or a table usually does two jobs at once: directional spotlights and pendant lights. Without a threaded connector a pendant needs its own ceiling point and its own supply. Here it hangs from the track, at a position the track had to have anyway.
The part is mechanical and structural – no electronics, no protective devices. Its job is a rigid, secure join between profiles and the transfer of load from the thread into the track structure.
Build
An aluminium body in silver-grey – matched to the grey EUTRAC finish. 10 × 3.6 × 1.9 cm, net weight just 61 grams. IP20: dry interiors only.
The manufacturer gives it a 5-year warranty – the same as the track itself, which counts on a part that carries a luminaire.
Compatibility
The connector fits the EUTRAC 3-phase system to the European standard (Eurostandard), surface version, and nothing else. It is not interchangeable with single-phase track or 48 V systems. It comes in several colours – when extending an existing installation, order the shade the track was built in.
