Terminal blocks - headers, plugs and sockets - form an integral part of an automated system in which connections are made. With the advancements in technology, a vast range of applications have emerged for the terminal blocks. From consumer electronics, power distribution, and data communications, to industrial control, sensing, and test & measurement, the versatility of terminal blocks is growing exponentially. This article will discuss the 1037680000 application field and working principles of terminal blocks.

Automation & Control

Terminal blocks are used in a variety of industrial, electrical and electronic applications, particularly for automatic control systems. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are automated systems used to control industrial machinery. Terminal blocks are the means of connection between the PLC and the field components such as sensors and actuators. Terminal blocks also are used to interface different types of signal, allowing connected components to operate correctly. Terminal blocks are equipped with a range of connection features, such as plug-in spade terminals, screw terminals, flexible cable connectors, and connection pins.

Power Distribution

Terminal blocks are used for power distribution in various applications. For example, in electrical panels they are used to connect the panel components together and connect the electrical components of the panel to the loads. In the case of AC power distribution, terminal blocks are commonly used to interconnect circuit breakers, power sources, and household appliances. In order to protect the circuit and equipment, a properly designed terminal block features a mechanical design suitable for withstanding overloads and excellent voltage stability.

Terminal blocks also are used in low-voltage power distribution systems. They are used to connect current sensors and load switch components, allowing reliable and safe power distribution.Terminal blocks are designed to have high current-carrying capacities, making them suitable for various power applications.

Data Communication

In data communication applications, terminal blocks are used to establish a connection between computer network and peripheral devices, such as printers, signal receivers, and communication modules. In some cases they are used to supply power to routers, switches, and wireless access points. In other applications, they are used to connect data transmission circuits of different types and protocol levels.

Depending on the application, different types of terminal blocks are used. For example, IFB type terminal blocks are commonly used in telephone systems. PoE terminal blocks are used to provide power and data signals from one device to another over Ethernet. RJ45 terminal blocks are used to establish an Ethernet connection.

Sensing & Measurement

Terminal blocks are used in various sensing and measurement applications. In the industrial environment, they are used for signal input/output from PLCs, analogue/digital sensors, transducers, and controllers. This allows precise and reliable measurement of environmental factors, such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. Terminal blocks are also used to connect digital readouts and indicators to the process control system. Moreover, they are used in safety control systems, such as alarms, to provide swift response in emergency situations.

Terminal blocks used in sensing and measurement applications are designed to provide high splicing accuracy and insulation strength. They also feature convenient connection methods, such as screw terminals and spade connectors.

Working Principle

Terminal blocks are passive electrical components that are used to connect cables, devices, and other electrical components together. The basic structure of a terminal block consists of two rows of male terminals, which are connected by a conductor plate. The male terminals are inserted into the female terminals of the second row, forming an electrical connection. The conductor plate that connects the two rows is made of a material, such as copper, that has high electrical conductivity. The conductor plate ensures a stable and reliable electrical connection. The connection is made by tightening a screw that passes through both terminal strips, clamping them together. The screw ensures the contact between the terminals, making sure that no electricity is lost.

Terminal blocks also come in various shapes to suit different applications. The designs vary by voltage rating and type of connection, such as screw terminals, printed circuit board connectors, and spade connector types. Terminal blocks are used in a variety of applications, from industrial automation and power distribution to data communications. They are available in a range of sizes and shapes, providing a versatile and reliable connection solution.
