Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

T38321-04-0 application field and working principle

T38321-04-0 is a type of terminal block that is used to protect electrical circuit components. It is commonly used to interconnect different types of wire and cable and to terminate runs of wire. The T38321-04-0 barrier block provides a high level of safety against reverse polarity, short circuit, and accidental disconnection, improving both connection reliability and serviceability.

Working Principle

A barrier block consists of a number of individual terminals arranged in a specific pattern in order to tightly link multiple conductors and wires together.

The terminal blocks are connected using two different types of connection methods. The most commonly used method is a clamp-type, which provides a strong and reliable connection. This is achieved by tightening a locking mechanism around the wire being connected. This type of connection is ideal for high-current connections due to its stronger and secure connection.

The other type is a screw-type connection. This connection method involves the use of a screw that is tightened to the wire being connected. The screw-type connection is less reliable than the clamp-type connection, as it is easier for the connection to become loose over time.

Once the terminals are arranged and the type of connection is chosen, a conductor strip is cut to the size of the terminal block. This conductor strip is inserted into the terminal block and each terminal is crimped to the conductor strip.

Application Field

T38321-04-0 barrier blocks are most commonly used in automotive and domestic wiring applications. This terminal block allows the user to make quick and reliable connections in cramped spaces with minimal effort.

The T38321-04-0 barrier block is also widely used in industrial and commercial wiring applications. These blocks save time and cost by providing a simple and reliable way to interconnect different types of wire and cable.

The terminal blocks can also be used in power distribution systems. These blocks provide a simple way to construct electrical systems while providing protection against reverse polarity, short circuit, and accidental disconnection.

T38321-04-0 barrier blocks are also used in the military and aerospace industry. The blocks provide a strong and reliable connection in extreme environments, allowing aircraft and other equipment to remain safe in operation.
