Terminal Blocks - Wire to Board

1-1986714-1 terminal blocks belong to the wire to board family from an application perspective. The design of terminal blocks takes a high current capability and low voltage applications in non-rugged environment into consideration. These terminal blocks have insulation sleeves which provide superior level of electrical insulation and can keep the surrounding wiring safe from electric shock.

Design & Characteristics

The particular terminal block has 2 to 4 power contacts and up to 10 signal contacts on each. It has a current rating of up to 12A, supports a voltage rating of up to 300V, and is made out of plastic material. It comes with a variety of colors with an option to select the stripe and tail color. The design also supports a pre-installed wire opening size of 13-20 AWG. Beyond the technical characteristics, the terminal blocks we also support an excellent making and breaking capacity.

Working Principle

The 1-1986714-1 terminal blocks come with spring-style wire connections and standardized DIN rail & mounting points. A user can plug in the wires directly into the top side of the terminal block and the connection will be made automatically, followed by notching the wires. The wires will then be held firmly by the cable clamp. This is useful for applications where the user needs to quickly replace or add a wire in the middle of the electrical wiring. Additionally, the terminal blocks are connected together on the DIN rail, in which a user could select the size and connector type according to his or her requirements, and install the terminal blocks side-by-side to form a strong and long lasting connection.

Installation and Safety

Apart from the standardisation of these terminal blocks, the design also meets requirements in terms of safety and user handling. The wiring instructions are labeled clearly near the screw connection ports, which allow users to easily identify the connection ports using the color-coding and identification labels. The spring-style wire connections, along with the support of a DIN rail and mounting points, increases the safety of manipulation – users will be able to close the terminals safely, without the risk of any hairpin connections. The label also enables the user to easily trace the connection back to its origin.

Conclusion

The 1-1986714-1 terminal blocks are suitable for quick connection and replacement of wires in a low voltage and high current environment. It is also designed for user safety and convenience, by providing with codes to identify the connection points, and making sure the electrons follow a traceable path. Installation is also made easier due to its universal mounting points and DIN rail. All in all, the 1-1986714-1 terminal blocks fulfill the needs of people looking for components that are easy to use and maintain.
