Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

0387322705 is a type of barrier block which is designed to provide a convenient means of isolating, connecting, and protecting circuits. This particular model is made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, making it suitable for use in various industries and applications. Barrier blocks provide a simple yet effective way of wire protection that is easy to set up and maintain.

Barrier blocks are often used in industrial control, communication systems, electrical switchgear, and various other applications. These blocks are often made from non-combustible, insulating material, such as polycarbonate or polypropylene. The blocks are typically sold in packs and consist of two insulating plates up to 12mm thick, held together by either rivets or screws. The plates are then filled with a series of grooves that house live pins or contact blocks, which are surrounded by a variety of covers, clamps, and other devices that provide protection from weather and environmental influences.

The working principle behind barrier blocks is simple. When a terminal is closed, the top plate is pushed down onto the live pins, thus making contact and enabling the current to flow. On the other hand, when the terminal is open, the top plate is moved away from the live pins, breaking the circuit and stopping the current from flowing. This is a very simple yet effective way of controlling various circuits.

Barrier blocks offer a cost-effective alternative to hardwiring as they are easy to install, can be configured to meet a wide range of requirements, and provide good insulation resistance. Furthermore, these blocks feature a unique design that reduces the risk of accidental shorting of cables and wires due to surrounding environmental influences. Additionally, installation time is reduced due to the snap-in locks which makes the blocks easier to handle when assembling or dismantling.

Overall, 0387322705 and other types of barrier blocks are invaluable for applications that require electrical connections, control and/or switching, and protection from the environment. They are an ideal solution for use in a wide range of wiring applications and provide immediate cost-effectiveness.
