1-796688-1

Terminal blocks are versatile electrical connection devices that securely join two wires together. They come in a variety of sizes and a myriad of terminal block connection types. The 1-796688-1 is a wire-to-board terminal block, designed to fit into a printed circuit board’s system terminal blocking structures. This type of terminal block has multiple advantages that make it very popular within such applications.

What is 1-796688-1 Used For?

The 1-796688-1 is generally used for fastening located upon printed circuit boards. It is suitable for single or double ended connection of pre-cut wire strands. Most commonly found within control systems and electronic equipment, the 1-796688-1 allows for high reliable and secure contact for power sources with a current capacity of up to 6.0A and a rated voltage of up to 30V. This makes it ideal for a range of electrical and electronic components, including potentiometers, rotary switches, strain gages, heaters, sensors, signal modules, and more. 1-796688-1 is made from a high-quality insulating material and is designed to withstand both extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations, further increasing its suitability for various applications.

Design and Specifications

1-796688-1 terminal blocks are available in standard sizes. The design involves a bipartite line terminal block, an isolation part used to separate connected wires, and a middle bridge with a section where the terminal block connection pin is connected. It provides easy single-ended or double-ended power sources/relays connection and access control, enabling users to achieve reliable terminations in safe and risk-free manner. It is also designed with provisions for secure latching. The 1-796688-1 is very easy to install, maintain, and uninstall. The product is made in accordance with the UL497E and VDE standards and is rigorously tested in multiple steps, thus ensuring reliable performance in different connection applications.

Working Principle

The principle of the terminal block 1-796688-1 is based on the connection between the two ends of the pin and the connection points of the wire strands. The wire strand is placed between the connection points and the pins with the help of a bridge, which is then secured with latching. The contact between the bridge and the strands of wires is enabled with special groves running along the length of the bridge. The pressure is evenly distributed along the terminals resulting in secure and reliable electrical connections.

Application Field

1-796688-1 terminal blocks can be used for a wide range of applications. Most commonly, they are used for power sources control, data acquisition and communication control applications. The terminal block can be applied in control panels, junction boxes, automotive applications, racks and enclosures, process control systems, motor control systems, HVAC systems, industrial automation systems, home automation systems, airplanes, robotic and security systems.
