0387890093 Application Field and Working Principle

Terminal blocks (also called barrier blocks) provide a convenient way to connect individual electrical wires to a common connection point. These blocks are typically used in machine control, industrial, commercial and consumer applications, although they can also be used in residential applications. The block is typically composed of two parts: a base and a body.

Application Field

Terminal blocks are used in the vast majority of industrial control systems, due to their reliability and versatility. They can be used to break large circuits into smaller ones, making troubleshooting and repair easier. Furthermore, they provide an easy way to migrate from one system to another, since they facilitate moving from wired to wireless communications.

Terminal blocks are also used in commercial, consumer, and residential applications. For example, they are used in electrical wiring systems, to connect electrical motors and controls, and to interconnect audio and video equipment. In addition, they can be used to connect portable devices, such as laptops and cell phones, to external power sources and communication networks.

Working Principle

Terminal blocks have a simple working principle. An electricity-conducting core (usually made of copper, brass or aluminum) is inserted into a conductor (usually a metal strip). The two parts are then clamped together with a screw and nut, or with a pin and nut. This creates an electrical connection point.

Once the connection point is established, the electrical current can be conducted from one component to another through the conductor. Depending on the type of terminal block, other functions can be performed as well, such as signal isolation, voltage control, current limiting, and fuse protection.

Conclusion

Terminal blocks (also known as barrier blocks) are commonly used to provide secure, reliable connections between two or more components. They are used in a variety of applications, ranging from the industrial to residential. They have a simple working principle, which involves establishing an electrical connection point. Depending on the type of terminal block, additional functions such as isolation, voltage control, current limiting, and fuse protection can be provided.
