Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

1862920000 terminal blocks are a type of electrical connector used to create electrical connections. They offer an efficient way to connect wires between different components. Unlike a standard wire connection, a terminal block connection requires special tools to secure, tighten, or remove the wires from the connector. Terminal blocks are built to accept both solid core and stranded wires, making it easier to manage a wide range of electrical installations.

Terminal blocks are an essential building block in all types of electrical systems. The most common application field of 1862920000 terminal blocks is the manufacture of electrical equipment and cable assemblies. This type of terminal block is also widely used in industry to route power and signals to and from control devices. Additionally, they are used where there is a need to length the wiring, or where a large number of connections or circuit installations need to be quickly and efficiently managed.

Working Principles

The working principles of 1862920000 terminal blocks are similar to any conventional ones. The terminal block has two metal end plates which connect the electrical connections from the power source to another component. The electrical energy is transferred through a mechanical connection secured in the block using screws. The screws are tightened or removed from the connection in order to insulate or close the circuit.

The mechanical connection consists of two contact plates which bear the power supply and the terminal block. The contact plates have a certain thickness. When the screws are tightened, they compress the plates, resulting in a contact between them. This is known as the principle of pressure contact. This allows for the electrical energy to pass from the power source to the other component.

To ensure the best quality of electrical connections, the use of thermal insulation material between the contact plates and the terminal blocks is recommended. This will prevent any heat emitted from the power source from traveling down the lines and interfering with the other components.

1862920000 terminal blocks are designed to be easy to install and maintain. Depending on the type of application, additional components such as barriers, jumpers, and ferrules may be required. This type of block has become an important component for applications involving power, control, signal, and data transfer.
