0308359 Application Field and Working Principle

0308359 terminal blocks, also known as push-in terminal blocks, are push-in connectors with screw clamp technology. They are designed for applications where a reliable, dependable connection needs to be established quickly and without the need of any additional tools. The simple ‘push-in’ design makes them easy to use, and can be utilized in many applications, from industrial electronics to low-voltage wiring.

The 0308359 are designed for use in connecting wires ranging from 0.08 - 0.75mm whilst still providing a secure, low resistance connection. Most noticeably, the 0308359 has an integrated screw terminal. This integrated screw terminal is where the wire is connected by sliding the wire into the terminal from the side while still having the screw-clamp secured by the nut. Once the wire is fully inserted into the terminal, the nut can be finger-tightened onto the screw-clamp, providing a secure, low-resistance connection.

The low-resistance connection is due to the spring-loaded design of the inner terminals, which increases contact pressure and minimizes resistance across the pins. These terminals also feature an enclosure which is of a high-temperature plastic, making them rated at 105°C, and fire-retardant to UL94 V0. This helps guarantee a class I connection rating (≤30mA) which is suitable for most low-voltage applications.

The 0308359 is designed for a range of applications, such as process controllers, PLCs, signal conditioning, motor control, relay and power supplies, and automotive electronics. The compact design makes them ideal to use in densely packed circuits, where space-saving is a priority. With their dependable connection, they can be used in a variety of applications with the confidence that your setup is well-equipped.

Overall, 0308359 terminal blocks are reliable components ideal for use in low-voltage and power applications. Their design is geared towards providing secure and low-resistance connections with minimal effort, while their durable construction makes them suitable for industrial electronics. With their push-in screw-clamp style, they make for quick and reliable wire-to-wire connections.
