Terminal blocks provide convenient and reliable methods for wiring electrical and electronic equipment. They are employed in a wide variety of industries and applications including, but not limited to: industrial automation, robotics, process automation, signal processing, power distribution, test & measurement, and control systems. They are used extensively in the electronics industry to provide reliable and efficient interconnectivity between components and systems.

Terminal blocks are designed to connect electrical devices in a secure and efficient manner. They provide a means of connecting two parallel lines of wire, as well as connecting devices to a system of wires. This is broadly known as a “jumper wiring” system. The use of terminal blocks simplifies the wiring process while providing the electrical path between two components.

Depending on the application, terminal blocks are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Commonly they are broken down into two distinct categories, barrier and screwless. Barrier terminal blocks, also known as “split” blocks, are the O-Gauge versions of the traditional wire-wrapped terminals that have been used in the electronics industry for years.

Barrier terminal blocks come in a variety of sizes and shapes. They consist of an insulated plastic body that contains two parallel lines of metal contacts. They are generally mounted onto headers or boards via a pair of insulating barriers. The wires that are connected to the blocks are connected via two screws placed in opposite corners of the block.

Screwless terminal blocks are very similar in design to barrier terminal blocks, but they do not require screws to make the connection. Instead, they use a unique locking mechanism that is designed to make the connections fast and secure. The locking mechanism can be disengaged to easily disconnect the wires.

No matter which type of terminal block is used, they all work according to the same principles. When the wires are connected, the contacts in the block make contact with the wires, creating an electrical circuit between them. This allows current to flow through the wires and arrive at the destination device.

Terminal blocks are essential for any electrical system, as they provide the means for interconnection and communication between components. They are easy to install and maintain, and provide a secure and reliable connection for any application.
