Terminal Blocks - Wire to Board

Terminal blocks are connection devices used to connect two or more conductors together in an electrical or electronic circuit, with the aim to provide secure and isolation to the connected devices. Among many different types of terminal blocks, one specific type is the Wire to Board type, which is designed for mating multi-pole circular and circular-shaped connectors.

Application Field

Wire to Board terminal blocks can be used in multiple applications such as railways, automation, control systems, lighting and LED systems, computers, power supplies, solar inverters and industrial tools. These terminals can also be used for counting, controlling, monitoring, inputting and outputting signals for different applications. More specifically, in the industry, they are used for inputting and outputting connections from electrical breakers, motor and power supplies, starters and relays.

Working Principle

The working principle of Wire to Board terminal blocks is quite simple: two or more conductors are connected to each other using a connection device. The device contains a set of terminals, either side, and each terminal has a ‘male’ and ‘female’ end. The ‘male’ end is usually the one connected to the conductor, while the ‘female’ one is connected to another conductor. To ensure a secure connection, the terminal is then tightened by means of a screw on the conductor side, or by means of a lever or pushbutton on the female side.

Advantages

Wire to Board terminal blocks offer a wide range of advantages, as they provide a secure and efficient connection between two or more electrical components. Furthermore, they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and voltage ratings so they can suit almost any application. In comparison with the traditional and time-consuming method of connection used in many applications, they are also much faster and more secure. Additionally, they can reduce installation time and costs for end users due to their simple installation.
