Terminal Blocks – Headers, Plugs and Sockets: 1707502 Application Field and Working Principle

Terminal blocks are high-performance electrical connection systems which offer a mechanic fast and safe connection of power, signal and data cables through plug-in connections. In broad lines, terminal blocks can be divided into two categories: the headers, plugs and sockets. The headers are used for connecting power line cables to the system while plugs and sockets perform the actual connection of the individual components both inside and outside of the system.

1707502 Application Field

The 1707502 terminal blocks are especially designed for AC and DC power and signal applications in distributed control systems, industrial automation and telecommunication. 1707502 also serves in fields like power supply, medical technology, test equipment, lighting systems and transport technology, etc. It is suitable for direct soldering or for screw terminal blocks, providing greater comfort and easier and faster cabling.

1707502 Working Principle

The 1707502 terminal blocks are plugged in and locked by a clamping Yoke mechanism, which is designed to ensure a reliable and stable connection. The clamping Yoke of the 1707502 terminal blocks ensures an excellent (low) contact resistance while preventing from vibrations and other environmental conditions.

The 1707502 provided a rapid and easy installation of cords with Quick-on-Screws on the operating side and a wide variety of pad sizes on the other side for making secure and connection and circuit arrangement. There are two power entry points located on the 1707502; a power entry channel for larger network cables and a power entry screw point for individual cable connection. The power entry channel provides the power connection for larger cable strands, while the power entry screw point provides a power connection for a single wire connection.

The 1707502 terminal blocks also comes with a M4 (or 5.8mm) terminal point for direct connection to a PC board. For small networks, small cable strands, mains connection and individual wire connections can be realized in tight spaces without compromising circuit design. Additionally, 1707502 terminal blocks can provide up to 40A current per contact providing reliable connection and low contact resistance.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 1707502 terminal blocks are the best choice for AC and DC power and signal applications in many industries, such as in distributed control systems, medical technology, test equipment, power supplies, lighting systems, industrial automation and telecommunication, etc. it\'s highly reliable connections with power entry channels, screw points and M4 terminal points make a versatile and user friendly connection system that can provide up to 40A current ratings and contact resistance.
