1-796867-8

Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets are a classical type of electrical connection, mostly found in industrial applications. Their broad range of performance characteristics, such as low noise, short circuit protection, surge protection, insulation distance, etc., makes them suitable for many applications. The 1-796867-8 terminal block is a particularly versatile solution for both indoor and outdoor applications. Let\'s take a closer look at the field of application and the working principle of this popular terminal block.

Application Field

The 1-796867-8 terminal block is a polymeric insulation and has an excellent flame retardant performance. It is widely used for the connection of power energy, signal and control respectively, meeting the requirements in the field of modern automation such as industrial control and low voltage electrical construction. It is suitable for mounting on various DIN rails like TH35 and TS35, and can be used in switchgear control systems and electronic equipment power distribution systems. It is also applicable to a variety of environment conditions, even in extreme environment that is in high temperature, strong vibration, strong corrosion, and other outdoor locations with waterproof and dustproof.

Working Principle

The 1-796867-8 terminal block has a two-piece design that comes with a socket and a contact spring. The contact spring is partially inserted into the socket, allowing the electricity to pass through the contact spring and the socket of the terminal block to the connection terminals. It is noteworthy that the actual contact area between the contact spring and the socket is very large. This ensures good electrical connectivity and minimized voltage drops. The connection terminals are clamped by the top part of the socket when the bolt of the terminal is tightened. Such design helps to prevent slip-off and contact interruption and thus protects the connection against accidental disconnection.

Conclusion

The 1-796867-8 terminal block is a reliable and safe component for many applications. It has high electrical and mechanical performance, and also meets the needs of fireproof and waterproof conditions. Therefore, it is widely used in automotive, electronic, industrial control and other systems.
