Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

Barrier blocks are an important type of terminal block that is widely used in industry and in laboratory applications. These blocks feature a physical barrier between the electrical connections and the components connected to them. This barrier helps to reduce the possibility of accidental contact with high voltage connections, and also to provide a degree of insulation between the electrical connection and the components.

The barrier blocks are designed to provide a reliable means of connecting power leads, signal leads, and other conductors. They are available in several shapes, sizes, and materials, and accommodates a wide range of applications. The standard sizes typically range from 1/4 inch to one full inch, and they can also accommodate larger sizes with special shapes and dimensions.

The standard construction of a barrier block consists of two rows of terminal slots or holes, arranged as either male or female. Each hole has a metal terminal contact secured inside by either a metal clip, or a plastic holder. The contact is made on the opposite end of the block from the connection; this ensures that the connection will not be damaged if the operator accidentally touches it. The standard material used is a sturdy plastic, and various other materials may also be used depending on the application.

Barrier blocks are also differentiated by the type of connection they provide. For instance, some are designed to accept only screw connectors, while others accept both screw and twist connectors. In addition, some barrier blocks allow for an additional output cable, as well as a variety of different types of wires. This allows a greater flexibility in connecting and disconnecting components quickly and easily.

The working principle behind the barrier block is simple. When a screw is inserted into one of the contact slots, the metal contact is drawn into contact against the wall of the block. This contact creates an electrical connection between the screw and the block. The same principle applies when two or more terminals are connected – the terminals are pressed against each other to create an electrical connection.

Barrier blocks can also be used as circuit protection devices by limiting the current that can flow through them. In this application, they are referred to as fuses. Each time a specified level of current is exceeded, the fuse opens and prevents further current from flowing. The fuse is then replaced by an operator so that normal current can resume its flow.

In summary, barrier blocks are an important type of terminal blocks that provides a reliable means of connecting power leads, signal leads, and other conductors. They feature a physical barrier between the connection and the components to reduce the chance of accidental contact with high voltage connections, and to provide a degree of insulation between the connection and the components. The barrier blocks are also used as circuit protection devices by limiting the current that can flow through them.
