Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

A 0387008717 Terminal Block is a device used for making wire-to-wire or wire-to-device connections. This type of terminal block is designed to protect against electrical shocks and unintentional contact with the electrical circuit. The barrier blocks are designed with two sets of pins, each set leading to a different device. The two sets of pins are separated by an insulating barrier to prevent accidental contact between the pins.

Application Field

Barrier blocks are used in a wide variety of applications, from industrial, power and communications applications to medical and automotive products. They are widely used in power distribution, protection, control, motor control, and process instrumentation. In fact, they are used in almost any application in which a connection needs to be made between two electrical components. For example, barrier blocks are commonly used to connect an AC motor to a DC power source, to connect a generator to a DC power source, and to connect a computer to a printer.

Working Principle

The 0387008717 Terminal Blocks are designed with pin connections and bus-bars. The pins provide an electrical connection between the two devices, while the bus-bars hold the pins in place and provide ground connections to the devices. To connect the two devices, a person needs to insert the pins into the corresponding pin slots on the terminal blocks. Once the pins are in place, the connection is complete.

The barrier block also has the ability to protect against electrical shocks. Some designs include a metal shield that covers the pins and bus-bars to provide electrical insulation and to prevent shock and interference from outside sources. The metal shield provides additional safety by restricting access to the device and blocking electromagnetic radiations.

0387008717 Terminal Blocks are low cost and easy to use. They are popular for use in many applications such as industrial equipment, automotive products, and communication and process instrumentation control. They are durable, simple to install, and provide reliable electrical connections.
