Pin & Barrel Continuous Hinge Electric Through-Wire (TW8)

Pin and Barrel Continuous Hinge Electric Through-Wire (TW8)

Electrical through-wire hinges (TW8) are an excellent choice for applications where secure and efficient power transfer is required from the door frame to the door. These hinges are particularly beneficial for low-frequency usage scenarios, such as powering electrified mortise or cylindrical locks, exit devices with electric latch retraction, and electric strikes on pairs of doors. Ives offers through-wire hinges for their standard models, including the 700, 705, and 715 series.


Overview

Ives Electrical Through-Wire Hinges (TW8) are designed for standard models (700, 705, 715) and are recommended for low-frequency usage. These hinges provide electric power transfer from the frame to the door cable, supplying power to various electrified hardware. The through-wire is rated at 50 volts AC/DC with a continuous 3.5 amp and a 16 amp pulse (maximum pulse of 400 milliseconds). Ives through-wire hinges are compatible with both 4-wire and 8-wire installations.
