0386310612 Application Field and Working Principle

Terminal blocks - barrier blocks (also known as terminal strips) are a type of electrical connection system designed for use in the process-automation industry, as well as being used in consumer electronics applications. These units consist of an insulated plastic or metal base and a line of clamping terminals, which can be used to conduct electrical energy between two or more components in a controlled manner.

Application Field

Barrier terminal blocks are generally used for industrial applications and have multiple safety functions. They are typically divided into control and distributor blocks. Control blocks are partially insulated and typically handle small currents, while distributor blocks are completely insulated and used for very large currents. They are designed to link multiple points of an electrical system for power, signals and other purposes.

Barrier terminal blocks can be used in a variety of applications, such as industrial automation, machine building, robotics, medical equipment, electronics devices, aerospace, automotive, lighting systems, traffic signals and process-automation systems.

Working Principle

The 0386310612 Barrier Terminal Block incorporates a series of modules within a single molded unit. Each module is designed to make an electrical connection between two points in a system. This provides a safe and reliable interface between device inputs and outputs. The modules consist of a terminal block, a spring-loaded terminal and an insulated barrier.

The terminal block provides a physical interface between components and includes mounting holes for installation. The spring-loaded terminals provide electrical connection to the device connections. The insulated barrier prevents accidental short circuits between the terminals and allows for safe and reliable operation. Finally, the screws provide mechanical tension to keep the terminals firmly in place and the wiring in place.

In conclusion, the 0386310612 Barrier Terminal Block is a versatile and effective means of providing a safe, reliable and organized connection system between components in process-automation systems.
