Terminal Blocks – Headers, Plugs, and Sockets

Terminal blocks are one of the most versatile types of electrical connectors available on the market today. A terminal block is a type of electrical connector designed to easily and safely connect two electrical circuits together. Generally, a terminal block features a header, plug, and socket connector, allowing multiple connections to be made in a single system. Additionally, the headers, plugs, and sockets are designed to make electrical connections easily accessible, even in tight spaces.

Terminal blocks can be integrated into a wide variety of circuits, ranging from industrial, commercial, and residential applications, and can be used either in wet or dry conditions. Depending on the type of connector and system, some terminal blocks are available to transfer direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). But regardless of type and application, a terminal block must complete several steps to correctly operate.

Once the header, plug and socket on the terminal block have been connected, the circuit will then need to provide enough voltage to create an electrical field. As a result of this voltage, electrons begin to flow through the cable, which in turn causes an electrical current to move between the socket and the plug. This current, expressed as an amperage, is then used to power the device connected to the socket.
