Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

Barrier blocks, also known as terminal blocks or terminal strips are modular electrical components that interconnect electrical signals, and often provide a mechanical connection between wires as well. They are commonly used in many industrial sectors for safe, reliable and efficient electrical wiring. They provide an economic way to connect terminals together in a variety of configurations.

Barrier block components come in a variety of configurations and sizes including single, double and triple barrier blocks. A single-barrier block typically consists of a set of low-voltage conductors spaced apart from one another and with an insulated barrier between them. Double and triple barrier blocks have two and three separate insulated barriers in between conductors to provide additional insulation between conductors. This feature makes it possible to create a single electrical connection for multiple terminals.

Barrier blocks provide a convenient and efficient way to make connections when multiple conductors are involved. This is especially important in applications where safety and reliability of the electrical system are of utmost importance. Double and triple barrier blocks minimize the risk of electrical shock or arc flash hazard due to inadequate insulation, which can lead to severe burns and potential death.

Barrier blocks are widely used in many industrial applications including process control, automation, robotics, machine-tooling, instrumentation and fixtures. They can also be found in many residential applications such as lighting and appliance wiring. The most common application of barrier blocks is the interconnection of various components in a system. This is especially important in an industrial setting, where the need to quickly and efficiently change or alter a connection is often necessary.

The working principle of a barrier block is quite simple. Each conductor is connected to a terminal on the block, and the insulated barriers between the conductors provide an electrical connection between them. The connection requires a certain level of force to make, so that the blocks don’t come undone due to regular vibrations and movement. This makes them ideal for use in industrial and commercial applications.

There are several types of barrier blocks, depending on the type of connection and voltage that needs to be used. Whip-type barrier blocks are commonly used in low-voltage DC and AC applications. In these systems, the terminals are arranged so that the barriers can be easily snapped into place for a tight connection. Ringed-type barrier blocks are typically used for high-voltage AC applications, as the terminals have an external metal ring for a secure connection. The application field for barrier blocks is vast, and they can be used in almost any industry where an efficient and reliable electrical connection is necessary.
