Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

T38467-08-0 is a terminal block or barrier block meant to provide a safe connection point between two electrical conductors. Such terminal blocks or barrier blocks are designed to permit the fastening of two wires in a safe way while also providing electrical insulation and protection. They are most commonly used in industrial settings since these blocks give protection against unintentional contact with live circuits, protecting personnel and the equipment. Many of these blocks are flame-resistant and have a variety of features, such as locking, grounding, and grounding lug, which make them suitable for so many applications.  

Application Field

T38467-08-0 is most widely used in automation and control engineering, industrial electronic assemblies, mechanical systems and instrumentation control. This type of terminal block also has a great many uses in electrical box assembly, production line assets, power infrastructure, software, networking, and communications. In addition, these terminals are also commonly used for customizing specific applications to meet customer needs. These terminals are typically fastened to a chassis, PCB, or a panel to provide a reliable and efficient connection to other panel components. 

Working Principle

The T38467-08-0 terminal block is a component that has an external mechanical structure in which two wires or contacts are fastened in a safe way. Inside the block, a bridge creates two separated electric circuits, so that one of them keeps the power on while the other is connected to the control circuit. This way the two circuits remain physically separated and electrically insulated from each other, preventing an electrical accident due to a short circuit. As a result, the wires and the entire system remain safe. In addition, the safety mechanism of the terminal block also minimizes the effect of electrical interference on the circuits by preventing them from being damaged. 

Conclusion 

Overall, the T38467-08-0 terminal block is a reliable safety component that is widely used in industrial settings to protect personnel and equipment from electrical shorts and interference. It features a mechanical structure that allows for the safe fastening of two wires while electrically insulating and protecting them. This type of terminal block is suitable for application in automation and control engineering, industrial assemblies, instrumentation control, and so forth.
