Terminal blocks, headers, plugs, and sockets, also known as screw-based connection interfaces, are often used in electrical wiring for industrial device, factory automation, and field-bus applications. Terminal blocks are passive electrical interconnect components that accept a conductor and provide a fixed, secure electrical connection. This type of connection is commonly referred to as a “soldered” or “solderless” connection. The basic purpose of terminal blocks is to provide a connection point for electrical wires, while providing an insulation barrier to protect the connection, and to reduce the chance of short-circuiting.

Electrical terminal blocks are categorized by their application, the materials used in construction, the electrical characteristics, the style, and the operating environment. Terminal blocks vary in size, voltage, current, shape, form, and connection type, allowing them to be used in any number of applications, from automotive and network communications, to industrial equipment or consumer electronics. Depending on the application, plug or socket-style terminal blocks may be used. Plug and socket terminal blocks are designed to mate directly with a header or board-mounted connector.

Terminal blocks are composed of two pieces: the rail and the terminal strip. The rails are typically constructed of cost-effective plastic or aluminum and designed to withstand the high operating temperatures that are often encountered in industrial and field applications. The terminal strip consists of multiple holes or sockets in which wires can be inserted and secured to the block using either a screw terminal strips or through-holes. Screw terminal blocks are the most commonly used and consist of serrated terminals which are tightened with a screwdriver or wrench. Through-hole terminal blocks provide a “solderless” connection, and are designed for use in tight spaces, as they provide a quicker installation and allow for flexibility in cable length.

Terminal blocks are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including straight, double-ended, and T-shaped. They can be used in a variety of configurations, such as single-wire, double-wire, and multiple-wire configurations. Depending on the application, they may be used as feed-through, barrier, or bridging terminals. Common applications for terminal blocks include industrial control, device security, professional audio-visual equipment, and automotive wiring.

For terminals that are frequently moved, pluggable terminal blocks are available. Pluggable terminal blocks allow for quick and easy disconnection from the device to which they are connected and allow for quicker assembly times. The terminal block housing contains a release mechanism that allows for quick removal and replacement of the terminal blocks. Pluggable terminal blocks provide a secure, reliable connection while allowing for flexibility in connecting components.

Terminal blocks are used in nearly all types of electrical and electronic applications, from high-precision measuring instruments and control systems to home automation equipment. The variety of terminal block styles and designs, as well as the ability to customize designs, make these components essential to the modern-day electrical engineer. With proper selection and installation, terminal blocks can provide a secure and efficient connection.
