Terminal Blocks - Wire to Board

The 0398801033 is a terminal block solution for wire to board. It is designed to help users mate and secure wire harnesses for the connection of control circuits. It is part of the 39 Series of terminal blocks manufactured by CABAC.

The 39 Series from CABAC is an interconnection solution for the connection of wires to terminal points. It includes various configurations of solderless quick connect terminal blocks which are available in multipoles and various different strategies for securely joining two wires with a wire harness. They are made from a base material of nickel plated steel and are suitable for use in the 25°C to 150°C temperature range.

Uses

The 0398801033 is commonly used in the automotive industry to join the wiring harnesses for the control circuits of automobiles. The 39 Series as a whole is also used in machinery manufacturing, HVAC control systems, lighting systems, motor drives and applications where the need for electrical barrier is important. Outside of the automotive/industrial area, the terminal blocks find application in the fields of entertainment and sport.

They are especially suitable for applications wherethe wires may be exposed to extremes of vibration or temperature. Using these wire to board terminal blocks, it is possible to link lighting controls or motor drives with very little effort. It saves time and labor costs associated with wiring runs and installation of components.

Components

The 0398801033 terminal block consists of the following components: two terminal blocks for the connection of wires, an electrically safe twist-lock mechanism for a secure fit, insulation material to protect wires from rubbing or short circuits, and a grounding wire.

The two terminals have holes for the connection of separate wires and are held together with a twist-lock that allows easy push-in assembly. A grounding wire can be inserted between the terminals and connected to the ground over a wide area. This reduces the risk of an electric shock.

Working Principle

The design of the 0398801033 is an electrically safe connection of wires using a two-terminal solution. The two terminals are connected together using a twist-lock mechanism that provides a secure fit. An insulation material is used to protect the wires from short circuits or rubbing and a grounding wire is inserted between the two terminals.

When the twist-lock is used, the two terminals are held firmly together and thus a secure connection is made. The ground wire is then connected to the ground over an extended area for safety. When the lock is released, the two terminals are disconnected. The insulation material completely prevents any electric shock or short-circuiting.

Conclusion

The 0398801033 terminal block is ideal for applications involving the electrical connection of wires. It is commonly used in automotive, industrial, and entertainment industries and provides a secure connection of wires for the assembly of control circuits. Its two-terminal design offers an electrically safe connection and eliminates the risk of an electric shock.

The twist-lock mechanism provides a secure fit against vibration or temperatures extremes, and ensures a secure connection with minimal effort. An insulation material and a grounding wire ensure that any risk of electric shock or short-circuiting is avoided, making the 39 Series terminal blocks a safe, practical solution for connecting multiple wires.
