Terminal blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets, is an application field that can be used to manage electrical connections in an industrial, commercial or residential environment. The use of terminal blocks is ideal when a specific engineering solution is required that requires direct current connection and the connection of additional systems or devices. To achieve a successful connection, the user must understand the principles on which terminal blocks operate.

Terminal blocks are essentially divided into two types; headers and plugs and sockets. The following outlines the purpose and functioning of each types of terminal blocks.

Headers

The main purpose of header-style terminal blocks is to provide a degree of flexibility that allows the assembly of multiple parallel connections. Headers are used to provide power for a variety of applications, including the connection of motors, batteries, and electronic components. Headers consist of two parts; a connector on one side and a socket on the other. The connector is what is used to mate the header to the electrical device to be powered.

When connecting the header to a particular component, the user can specify the number of slots that should be present. Slot widths can be either single or double, depending on the user\'s specifications. Additionally, headers are available in a range of sizes, ranging from 2-40 pins. Typically, mated header connections can handle a total current of up to 1236800000 amp.

Plugs and Sockets

The primary purpose of plugs and socket-style terminal blocks is to provide a secure, protected connection between two electrical devices. Like headers, plugs and sockets come in multiple sizes depending on the user\'s requirements. Socket widths and plugs can be chosen depending on the type of application being used. Socket connections can be made as a single-unit plug, or a larger plug with multiple sockets.

When connecting a device to a socket, the user must ensure that the current is within the set limits. Plugs and sockets mate by utilizing two or more slots located on each side of the connection. These slots are then used to connect the device to the socket-style terminal block. The pins contained within the socket will remain secure until the connection is complete, ensuring the integrity of the connection.

Working Principle

The principle behind both header and plug and socket terminal blocks is the same; to provide an effective and efficient way to interconnect components or devices and to ensure that each connection is secure and reliable. Both types come with components that are necessary for creating the connection, such as pins, headers and plugs. Once connected, the terminal block will provide power to the device or component, allowing it to function. The current will travel through the connection and be distributed to the device or component.

The use of terminal blocks is beneficial in applications where a high level of safety must be maintained. For example, power supplies and electrical circuits that require the movement of high levels of current can benefit from the secure connection that a terminal block provides. Additionally, terminal blocks are often used in applications where multiple connections are required, such as in an assembled panel.

The use of terminal blocks for electrical connections is cost effective and efficient, and can reduce the need for additional wiring or cabling. Additionally, they help to reduce the risk of wiring issues or faults, which can help to improve safety in industrial or commercial settings. Terminal blocks can help to reduce the time and effort required to create and maintain electrical connections, allowing business to focus on other important operations.
