Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

1122680000, or more specifically the 11226-8000 Series, is a type of terminal block designed for quick and easy wire junction connections. These terminal blocks enable a reliable electrical and mechanical connection for a wide range of wire gauges with the bare minimum of installation time needed.

Application Field

These terminal blocks are widely used across an array of industries including aerospace, automotive and home appliance. They are designed to save time and simplify the maintenance process as cables can be simply plugged in or out with no need for tools. And due to their robust construction, they can also be used both indoors and outdoors regardless of their environment.

Construction

The 11226-8000 series terminal blocks are manufactured from a galvanized steel for strength and durability and die-cast zinc for electrical and thermal insulation. They also feature two adjustable clamping tensions: 16 A (standard) and 32 A (special). The up to 32 A short-circuit withstand capacity, along with the fine pins, make it an effective way of dealing with higher current loads.

Design Features

The 11226-8000 series terminal blocks come with a variety of design features to simplify the connection of wires. These features include retractable sleeves which can fit a wide variety of wire gauges, a ferrule spring which ensures reliable connection, a quick release latch for easy disconnection and plug-in bridges for the easy connection of multiple terminal blocks.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 11226-8000 series terminal blocks is relatively simple. The connection is comprised of a wire which is inserted into the terminal block in the form of a ferrule. The ferrule moves through the inside of the block and is then held in position by a cantilever spring, allowing the wire to remain attached and ensuring the connection remains secure. The connection is then completed by closing the quick-release latch and the tension of the spring ensures a reliable electrical and mechanical connection.

Conclusion

1122680000 terminal blocks are an extremely reliable and versatile type of connection. The various design features allow for a wide range of connection options and the steel and zinc construction ensures the terminal block is robust and reliable even in harsh conditions. These terminal blocks are suitable for a variety of applications and their simple installation process make them cost-effective and extremely popular in many industries.
