Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

0395305219 terminal blocks - also known as board to board connectors - is a electrical connection system involving headers, plugs and sockets. Each type has a specific design characteristic to fit certain applications. The header is a terminal block, having a raised section, which has two rows of several connecting points or terminals. A plug can mate the raised section, which contains several female connection points. Finally, the sockets are typically a one-piece molded device that has several metal contact areas which can be attached to a board and solder. Each piece is designed to deliver specific functionalities to serve a variety of applications.

Application Field

Terminal blocks are mostly used in applications requiring a relatively permanent electrical connection between two or more circuit boards. Examples of such applications are in telecommunications, control cabinets, tracking systems, consumer electronics, security systems, vending machines and medical devices. Theheaders are usually found at the PCB level and are used as the start point for the electrical/mechanical connections. Other applications include connecting between a CPU board and other custom forms of interconnections. Terminal blocks are also sometimes used in the automotive industry to connect the battery head, ignition module and starter. Telecommunication systems, computers and automotive electronics are the primary applications for terminal block assemblies.

Working Principle

Terminal block connectors are a type of board-to-board connection system. When two headers are mated, a tight, positive fit is established so that electrical and data signals can be transferred between the mating components. This electrical connection system is generally used in high-frequency, high-voltage, or mixed-signal communication systems.The functionality of the terminal block connector is achieved by the use of a conductor pin which is inserted into the connection block through the plug header. The plug then engages with the socket receptacle to ensure that the electrical connection is made in a reliable and safe manner. The contacts in the plug header then presses against the socket on the mating header, thus forming an electrical connection between the two. The sockets then mate with the corresponding pin header contact and form a complete electrical circuit.

Terminal block connectors provide reliable and secure connections in a range of environments. They are designed to provide an accurate mechanical connection that ensures the integrity of the signal as it is transferred between the two components. As well as providing reliable and secure connections, the design of the connect system also ensures that the components can be easily coupled and decoupled as required.

Conclusion

The 0395305219 terminal block connectors provide a reliable and secure means of establishing an electrical connection between two or more circuit boards. Header, plug and socket components are designed to fit certain applications, with each designed to provide different functionalities. The terminal block connectors provide a secure and accurate electrical connection, ensuring that the signal integrity is maintained.
