Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

The 1699170000 is a wide range of components for connection systems used in the electrical industry, from terminal blocks and headers to plugs and sockets. They complement other types of connection systems such as pneumatic and optical connectors.

Terminal blocks

Terminal blocks (also known as connection blocks and terminal strips) are used to safely and reliably connect wires and cables in industrial equipment, power supplies and other electrical equipment. Most are plastic and are available in 5.08 mm, 7.62 mm, 15.24 mm, or 31.50 mm pitches. Multiple terminal blocks can be stacked horizontally or ganged together vertically to achieve the necessary number of contacts. Some feature spring-clamp terminals, while other, higher quality and more expensive models, feature highly reliable, screw-clamp type terminals.

Headers

Headers are plastic blocks that provide a variety of connecting points. They are typically used to convert a flow of electricity into a specific type of connection, such as a mechanical dump (MDC) or an indicator LED. They also offer options for color coding the connections. Headers are available in 6.03 mm, 7.80 mm, 10.16 mm, and 20.00 mm pitches.

Plugs and sockets

Plugs and sockets are a common type of connection system used to connect electrical devices and components. Plugs and sockets vary in size and shape and are often color-coded for specific applications. Many are equipped with polarization to ensure proper orientation of the connections and feature metal or plastic housing.

Working principle

Terminal blocks, headers, plugs, and sockets operate on the same basic principle. They are designed with features to ensure that electrical connections are safe, secure, and reliable, and to ensure that the electrical current is not interrupted. The components feature spring-loaded or screw-clamped terminals, which ensure a secure connection between the plug and socket, and a housing that helps to protect the components from interference and environmental influences.

The specific design of each type of terminal block, header, plug, and socket varies according to its application and intended use. They are manufactured to exacting standards to ensure that they meet the necessary performance requirements, safety standards, and environmental regulations.

With the 1699170000 components, users can equip their systems with a combination of connection systems that provide the perfect balance of reliability, cost-effectiveness, and safety.
