Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

Barrier Blocks, also known as Terminal Blocks, are a type of electrical interconnection component used in the electrical industry. They allow for connection of wires between two or more circuits. The terminals are used to connect two or more circuits together while the barrier block physical partitions isolate electrical paths. They are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications such as switchgear and factory automation.

Application Field

Terminal blocks are used in a variety of electrical systems and appliances. They are often used in power systems to connect cables or wires to motors, circuit breakers, contactors, and other devices. They can also be used in industrial and manufacturing equipment, industrial control systems, and communication networks. The blocks are available in a range of sizes, materials, and voltage ratings, which makes them suitable for many different applications.

Working Principle

When using a terminal block, the first step is to connect the power and ground wires to the terminals. Once this is done, the other wires are connected in a variety of configurations to create the desired circuit. The most common form of terminal blocks is a spur configuration, which is made up of two separate sections. The first section is the power section, where the power and ground wires are connected. The second section is the spur section, which connects the remaining wires, creating the desired circuit. Terminal blocks can also be configured in a ‘rail’ style, which allows multiple wires to be connected to each terminal block.

Terminal blocks are a convenient and cost-effective way to connect circuits, as they allow for easy installation and can be easily reconfigured, making them ideal for machine and equipment maintenance. They are also extremely reliable, making them a preferred choice for many electrical applications.
