1724608

Terminal blocks have long been used in the industry to reduce cost and time in wiring, and the 1724608 terminal block is no exception. This particular model is designed for wire-to-board connection and is adapted for both military and commercial applications. Let’s take a look at the application field and working principle of this device.

Application Fields

The 1724608 terminal block is a MIL-SPEC-qualified device with eutectic tin-lead plating for superior component and environmental performance. It features a plug-in style connection system with a modular design that offers the ultimate flexibility and convenience for connections in different environments and applications.

This terminal block is suitable for field wiring applications such as military/aerospace, industrial, telecom and data communication, and other applications related to the electrical industry. It can also be used for point-to-point connections in telecommunication and CATV systems, and for basic telecommunications termination points in manufacturing and control systems.

The 1724608 terminal block is also suitable for applications where constant voltage, current, and frequency are important concerns. It is designed to provide reliable connections even in extremely harsh environmental conditions, such as high and low temperatures, vibration, dust, and other extreme conditions without any significant performance degradation.

Working Principle

The 1724608 terminal block is a three-pole device with two eutectic tin-lead plated plugs and a push tab for connection between the two plugs. The device has a standard hole for soldering wires to the poles and a two-part housing for terminal tensioning and strain relief. It is also adjustable to allow for variations in conductor size.

The two plugs are connected by a single screw that is tightened to hold the wire in place, and the tension can be adjusted using two screw holes on the sides of the terminal block. The terminal is designed such that the wires are forced together when the screw is tightened, which ensures a good connection and also prevents the wires from separating due to external vibrations or forces.

The 1724608 terminal block is designed for secure and reliable connections even in environments with high temperature, vibration, and dust. It has an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C. The contact force is maintained over the full operating temperature range to ensure reliable performance even under the harshest conditions. It also has a dielectric strength of 1500 volts AC, which ensures that voltage spikes will not cause any damage to the device.

In addition, the device is protected against dust and moisture, and is UL listed and CSA approved. The cable clamp can also be used to secure the wires and prevent them from coming apart due to external force.

The 1724608 terminal block is an adaptable and reliable device for wire-to-board connection in different military and commercial applications. Its modular design and ease of installation make it one of the most popular terminal blocks in the industry.
