Barrier blocks are an important part of electrical terminal blocks. The 18-140-Y terminal blocks are often used in industrial processes and found in motor controls, process controls, robotic circuitry, and power distribution.

Design

The 18-140-Y terminal block is a heavy-duty terminal block specifically designed for direct termination of conductors. It has a slotted design to accommodate 14-18 AWG wire. The block also has a 2-way isolation compartment. This Isolation compartment can accommodate 2 insulated wires, each with a solid conductor of 14-18 AWG. This design allows for easier field wiring, as the insulation is easily removed from the wire conductors and then terminated in the isolation compartment.

Installation

The 18-140-Y Terminal Block is designed to be mounted to a surface mount Device (SMD). It can also be mounted directly to a panel or bulkhead. To install, the block needs to be secured by screws through pre-drilled holes. The screw terminals should then be tightened before connection of the conductor wires can take place.

Working Principle

The 18-140-Y terminal block operates by connecting the two insulated conductors in an isolated manner. This allows the two conductors to be terminated and connected without the risk of electrical current flowing between them. When the conductors are properly connected in the terminal block, the current only flows between the two conductors and cannot pass through the terminal block itself.

Application Field

The 18-140-Y Terminal Blocks are highly versatile and can be used in a wide array of applications. The slotted design makes them highly suitable for any industrial process, including motor controls, process controls, robotic circuitry, power distribution, and so on. The 2-way isolation compartment also allows for more flexibility, allowing for the termination of both insulated and solid conductors.

Safety

The 18-140-Y terminal blocks are highly durable and safe, offering reliable connections against corrosion and shock. The slotted design allows for a depth adjustment of up to 3 mm, greatly improving the terminal block’s safety and stability. The screw mount base also ensures that the block is firmly secured to its mounting surface, minimizing any short-circuiting caused by vibration or shocks. Overall, the 18-140-Y Terminal blocks offer great safety and reliability for industrial applications.
