Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

0387212306 DIN Rail Terminal Blocks provide an economical way to mechanica lly and electrically interconnect two conductors. They are ideal for applications where the conductors are relatively small and where they need to be installed frequently.

Terminal blocks are manufactured from rigid metal and plastic materials and are generally designed to carry current ratings up to and including 16A. They provide a safe, easy, and economical method of interconnecting multiple electrical components in many different circuits.

The most popular type of terminal blocks are the DIN-Rail mounted blocks, which are one of the most widely used electrical connection systems around the world. These terminal blocks provide a variety of mounting options such as front, rear or side mounted in a variety of sizes and shapes.

The main components of the DIN Rail terminal blocks include the mounting adapter, the individual terminal block, the connector housing and the terminal block accessories. The mounting adapter is used to mount the terminal block to the panel or chassis and is typically supplied with a mounting clip or other fixing device.

The individual terminal block is the physical component that connects the electrical conductors or wires together. The connector housing is the body that holds the individual terminal block and the terminal block accessories and provides a secure mount for the terminal block.

The terminal block accessories include features such as strain reliefs, labels, jumpers, barriers and fuse holders. The strain reliefs protect the cables from strain during installation, while labels provide a way to identify each block. Jumpers allow two or more terminal blocks to be connected in series, and barriers provide physical separation between two adjacent terminals. Fuse holders provide a safe and secure method of fusing the circuit.

The working principle of DIN Rail Terminal Blocks is relatively simple. When a conductor is inserted into the terminal block, the internal contacts are closed, completing the circuit between the two conductors. This connection is then insulated by the insulation material inside the terminal block, protecting the user from electrical shock.

DIN Rail terminal blocks are widely used in the industry to provide a safe and easy method of connection for any type of electrical component. They are used in a variety of applications such as rail mounted control systems, medical equipment, lighting control systems and industrial automation.
