Terminal blocks or terminal boards are electrical connection blocks that provide a safe, visible connection point for wires in electrical and electronic applications. They can also be used to organize and protect a group of terminals to ensure that they are not connected wrongly. Terminal blocks are common in buildings, factories and other environments, and usually mount to a panel.

1701472 terminal blocks are of panel mount type, which are mounted specifically onto an equipment, switch-gear or cabinet panel and secure wires to the electrical board, making them ideal for installation applications. The terminal block is fitted with an insulation strip which slides along the rail or onto the connector which is used to secure the wire or cable. Once connected they provide a secure electrical connection.

Working Principle and Functions

The terminal blocks connect one conductor to another in an electrical system, like a miniature bridge. When one section is connected to a terminal, an electrical connection is formed, so that when a current passes through the electrical conductor, it is connected to a terminal point, where it can be connected to other electrical circuits or components.

The terminals blocks make the wiring process of an electrical system much easier and quicker; the conductor is held in place securely thanks to a nut and screw component, and the terminal block does not need to be removed in order to access the conductor. This helps to eliminate the risk of mistakes and makes wiring and installation easier when you need to fix a problem in a wire The terminal blocks also serve to protect the wires from damage.

Advantages of Panel Mount Terminal Blocks

Panel mount terminal blocks offer a variety of advantages over other types, including:

• Easy installation and wire removal.
• Versatility, as they can be used for different types of applications.
• High reliability, since they are designed to be resistant to shocks and vibrations.
• Protection and insulation against short-circuits and fire.
• Cost-effectiveness due to their mass production.
