Barrier Blocks (also called Barrier Strips) are a type of terminal block designed to reduce the risk of accidental electrical shock when servicing or connecting circuits. To do this, the design of the terminal blocks incorporates either a physical barrier made to prevent electrical contact between discrete circuits, or utilizes electrical isolation techniques through the use of specialized materials and components.

The physical barrier style of barrier blocks utilizes an insulating plastic barrier with two screw-clamped, riveted, or conductive-tape-covered terminal strips on either side. The barrier itself isolates the two strips, preventing contact between them. These strips form the electrical connection between the incoming and outgoing wires. This can help to reduce the potential exposure of circuits to electrical shock by preventing direct contact between the live circuits and the user.

Terminal blocks that utilize electrical isolation techniques take advantage of the unique properties of materials like high-temperature plastics, ceramic and glass to create barriers that are both physical and electrical. Examples of these materials are often used in terminal strips, or barrier blocks. These materials are not only highly insulating, but they can also create a barrier between electrical contact points and high temperature components that might be contained within the terminal block.

Applications for terminal blocks that incorporate insulation or electrical isolation materials also extend beyond preventing electrical shock. They are often used in industrial or hazardous environments to provide a safer means to connect high voltage or hazardous components, and can be used in applications such as medical equipment, military installations, and nuclear power plants.

The working principle for barrier blocks is fairly straightforward. When properly installed and maintained, barrier blocks provide an airtight seal between incoming and outgoing electrical connections. This prevents any accidental contact between the two circuits. With the use of insulating materials or specialized electrical isolation techniques, the potential for accidental electrical shock is reduced significantly.

Terminal blocks that utilize physical barriers are typically constructed of heavy duty plastic or metal, with two terminal strips, or connects, to provide incoming and outgoing connections. These connections are kept separate by the physical barrier, which keeps the different electrical systems from coming into contact. Any contact between the two circuits would be blocked by the barrier before a potential electrical shock could occur.

Barrier blocks that take advantage of electrical isolation techniques include the use of specialized insulating materials such as high-temperature plastic, ceramic, and glass. These materials are highly resistant to electrical current, forming an airtight seal between the electrical contacts. This prevents any accidental contact between the two circuits and prevents any accidental electrical shocks. Barrier blocks of this type are often used for industrial applications such as medical equipment or hazardous environments such as nuclear power plants.

Terminal blocks of the barrier type are an important tool in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering. With the ability to reduce the potential for accidental electrical shock as well as provide an airtight seal between incoming and outgoing connections, these types of terminal blocks are essential components in any electronic or electrical engineering project.
