Terminal Blocks – Headers, Plugs and Sockets are a useful electrical device for designers to consider when creating a circuit or system. The terminal block allows the user to quickly and effectively insert and remove electrical wires and components without hassle or excessive wiring. Furthermore, their electrical properties coupled with a steady snap-in action make them an ideal application component for power distribution, signal routing and input/output (I/O) requirements.

Terminal Blocks are typically made of high-impact plastic and have a metal. They come in two types: headers and plugs. The header usually contains metal fingers or prongs, which provide a secure fit to wires and components while the plug has a smaller aperture which makes it a preferred choice when dealing with delicate connections. The headers and plugs have various shapes, sizes and current capacities suitable for a wide range of needs.

The most common design of terminal blocks are the European standard, which are seen in a variety of applications. A Euroblock provides a variation of an integrated snap-in header with a removable plug. This feature allows users to quickly connect a component, such as a switch or relay, while simultaneously providing protection for the connection. Typical Euroblocks require two types of terminations, such as a straight M4 threaded header and a Pre-insulated M2 plug.

The function of a terminal block is to provide a connection between two points. This is facilitated through the use of headers, plugs and/or sockets, with each connection point typically provided by a ring-tongue terminal or spade terminal. It is important to note that the two sides of the connection must be of the same type, with standard terminals used for low voltage and current applications, and heavy duty terminals used for medium voltage and current applications. In more robust situations, where high voltage and AC currents are present, an insulated barrier should be used.

Terminal blocks are also used to protect components from wiring issues. For instance, an exposed, poorly connected wire can cause a short circuit and cause permanent damage to expensive components. Terminal blocks are designed to block off exposed electrical contacts, such as those existing between two wires, to prevent this type of disaster. This is done by using a one piece, insulated, clip-in housing assembly in which the terminal insert is connected to a fixed base, usually a moulded support.

Terminal blocks can also be used to organize and label terminals and connections. This is becoming increasingly important due to increased complexity in circuits and systems. Labelling or numbering allows technicians and engineers to identify the exact location of each connection quickly and accurately. This makes maintenance and troubleshooting significantly more efficient.

The working principle behind terminal blocks revolves around the application of pressure and force via the metal components such as headers and Sockets. When an electrical connection is needed, the male terminal is inserted into the mating female terminal allowing for pressure to build up. This pressure causes secure contact between the two terminals, creating a reliable, low resistance connection.

In summary, Terminal Blocks – Headers, Plugs and Sockets are a great tool for designers to consider when constructing an electrical system. Their variety of shapes, sizes and capabilities makes them suitable for a range of applications. Furthermore, their functionality, such as providing a secure fit and preventing shorts, make them an ideal choice for high voltage and AC applications. It is therefore evident that many of today\'s most effective electrical designs make use of these trouble-free devices maintaining the utmost of safety and reliability.
