0382890032

Terminal blocks and barrier blocks are two types of electrical terminals commonly used in an array of industrial and commercial settings. 0382890032 is a part number for a type of terminal block. The 0382890032 terminal block is a screw type terminal block with a spring-loaded center contact and can accommodate wire sizes up to 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge). This type of terminal block is ideal for safely and securely connecting power and control circuits in industrial automation, motor control, and control power supplies.

Application Field

The 0382890032 terminal block is an important component in the industrial automation and control field. It is a reliable and robust connection system ideal for low and medium load applications. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as motor control, motor starters, industrial control, power supplies, and lighting control. The 0382890032 terminal block is UL and CSA approved, making it suitable for use in UL or CSA regulated industrial control applications.

The 0382890032 terminal block is also very cost effective, making it a great choice for commercial applications. It is commonly used in telecommunication, electronic, medical, and testing applications, as well as for lighting and signal control. It is also ideal for residential applications, such as wiring home appliances and connecting electrical circuits.

Working Principle

The 0382890032 terminal block is designed to accept and securely hold bare or insulated wires. The block is typically installed on a DIN mounting rail with a rail width of 35mm. Once the terminal is connected to the device, it is ready to accept the individual wires. The wires are threaded through the terminal and then twisted together in order to make a connection. The same principle applies for removing wires – threads must be twisted together in order to break the connection.

Once the wire is connected, the wire is held securely by a spring-loaded center contact. The center contact is compressed and then released, providing tension and grip onto the wire. The spring-loaded design provides a secure hold, even in applications subject to vibration. This ensures that the connection remains secure even if there is movement or shock.

In addition, the 0382890032 terminal block comes with a retention knob and latch for added security. The retention knob locks the terminal from the outside, preventing the wire from being accidentally pulled out. The latch also provides extra security and makes any removal of the wires difficult and time-consuming.
