Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

Terminal blocks, also referred to as headers, plugs and sockets, come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are very common in the electronic world. In general, terminal blocks are used to secure and/or arrange electrical connections between components of a device. They bridge the gap between many different types of electrical connections, including male-female, male-male, female-female, and more.

In most cases, terminal blocks are constructed of either plastic or metal. The body of the unit typically features screws, nuts, and/or other fastening means for attaching wires. As well, they may contain insulation on the body or contacts for protection against short circuits, all of which depend on the intended application. To secure the wires, the insulated cables must be inserted into the securement area and the screws tightened.

The use of terminal blocks can help to greatly reduce the time it takes to build, service, and maintain complex electrical systems. For instance, when using a wiring harness which connects multiple devices, terminal blocks can be used to make the entire wiring job simpler and faster. This is because the blocks are designed to allow multiple devices to be connected at once instead of requiring painstakingly connecting each wire one at a time. Additionally, terminal blocks are designed for superior electrical performance, which can be attained by preventing poor connections from forming.

There are variety of types of terminal blocks available, each of which may be designed for slightly different applications. Some commonly seen types include: screw type terminal blocks, push type terminal blocks, and mini terminal blocks. Screw type terminal blocks are the most commonly seen type and feature adjustable clamps for wires to be secured into place. Push type terminal blocks feature the same connections as the screw type terminal blocks but for faster installation, the terminal’s plug only needs to be pushed down into the block — no screws needed. Mini terminal blocks are just the opposite, and are designed for miniature electronic devices where space is of the utmost importance.

The 1712982 terminal block is a 4mm pitch, 6mm wide power terminal block. It features screw clamp connections and a low profile design which makes it ideal for use in tight spots or embedded applications. It also has great insulation and contact properties with an UL approval rating, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including, but not limited to industrial control, PCB assembly and automated assembly.

In conclusion, terminal blocks are extremely useful in the world of electronics and come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each of which may serve a different purpose. The 1712982 terminal block is an example of a high-quality power terminal block which is designed for greater performance and durability.
