Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

Terminal blocks, headers, plugs and sockets are used in electrical and electronic devices to connect electrical and electronic components to one another. These are the different types of terminals typically used in various applications.

Headers

Headers are structures that are fitted on printed circuit boards (PCB) for mounting of other components. The number of pins on a header can vary from 16 to 40. Headers are also available as pluggable terminals and they are commonly used in modular electronic systems.

Plugs

Plugs are components on printed circuit boards that provide the electrical connection between different components. They are commonly available in 2, 3, 4 or 5 pins. Plugs typically have their own insulation layer that prevents electrical shock or shorts from occurring.

Sockets

Sockets are used in conjunction with plugs to provide a secure electrical connection between different components. The pins on the sockets can be configured in different numbers and shapes. They are also available as lower profile versions for mounting in narrow spaces.

Terminal blocks, headers, plugs and sockets are commonly used in industrial applications to connect electrical components. For example, they are used in power supply systems, electronic control systems, electronic measuring systems and solar energy systems. They are also used in the automotive industry for connecting components in the vehicle’s electrical system.

Terminal blocks are typically composed of a metallic or plastic base, pins, and a contact surface. The base provides the basic structure to the terminal block while the pins provide the electrical connection to the connecting components. The contact surfaces are often covered in an insulation layer to prevent shorts and shocks.

The terminal block typically works by connecting the two components that are to be connected. The pins of the plug are inserted into the sockets of the terminal block, which creates an electrical connection between them. The insulation layer then prevents any shorts or shocks from occurring.

Headers, plugs and sockets also typically work in the same way as terminal blocks. The pins of the plug are inserted into the sockets of the header, which creates the electrical connection between the two components. The insulation layer prevents any shorts or shocks from occurring.
