Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

0386006117 terminal block is one type of barrier block. The barrier blocks are commonly used for routing and connecting wiring. It is designed to help protect the wiring and electrical connections. The barrier blocks securely maintain the connection and provide a barrier to prevent the wiring from shorting or arcing.

Application Field

Barrier blocks are commonly used in industries such as railroad, automotive, machinery, facility, and aircraft. In particular, they are used where there is the need to connect and disconnect components frequently. For example, railroads use barrier blocks to automize the system and make it easier to connect and disconnect various sections of track in order to switch the route of a train. Automotive industry uses them for connectors between the engine and electrical system due to the constant movement and vibration involved in the process.

It is also common to see barrier blocks in machine tools due to the constant frequency of wiring connections required for the machines to function. They are also commonly used in aircraft technologies, usually for connecting and powering instruments, as well as providing a built-in barrier to protect against possible voltage spikes.

Working Principle

The basic principle behind a barrier blocks is quite simple. Essentially, the barrier block contains two or more terminals. Each of these terminals is then connected to a wire that will complete the circuit. At the end of each wire, a mechanical or electrical connection is made. A barrier is then placed between the terminals, preventing whole circuit from being completed and the flow of current.

The barrier also provides a physical break in the circuit, allowing for the terminals to easily be removed and replaced without having to completely detach the entire circuit. This makes it easier to make changes or repairs without having to redo the entire wiring system.
