Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets - have been essential components in industrial and consumer electronics for decades. It\'s easy to recognize their applications, and the advantages they offer. But, what are the specifics of their use, and how do they work? This article will provide an overview of the 1883350000 application field and working principle.

Terminal Block: Design and Use

In general, a terminal block is an array of sockets or jacks connected to a PCB. It provides a secure, easily installation point for electrical connections. Its design limits the amount of current that can be delivered to each terminal, to protect components from damage.

Terminal blocks are available in different configurations, providing up to 10 or more wiring channels. There are also several kinds of connectors, and contact types. Generally, they are constructed for use in electrical boxes or breakout boards, and are more often used with low voltage installations.

Applications of Terminal Blocks range from domestic appliances to control systems. The most common applications are in consumer electronic products such as TV sets and computers, automotive systems, automated controls, and instrumentation panels.

Working Principle of Terminal Blocks

The working principle of terminal blocks hinges on the concept of making an electrical connection when two parts with current-carrying material is moved into contact with each other and allows a current to flow.

The electrical connection between two parts is provided by a metallic contact surface, or multiple surfaces, which run parallel to each other. Each metallic contact surface contains a \'contact point\'. This allows the current to travel through the contact point and into the metal contacts on either side of the block.

The contact point of the terminal block is typically round or oval in shape and is covered with a conductive material. This gives the part added strength and also helps to ensure the current is evenly distributed along the contact area.

When connected, different shapes and sizes of conductors can be joined. The conductor is inserted into the contact point and the electrical connection is made through the center of the contact point. The contact point is designed to have a tight fit to ensure that the conductor and contact point make a secure connection.

One of the biggest benefits of terminal blocks is that they allow for the connection of a variety of components and parts to the PCB without soldering, and without the need for special tools. This is possible because the contact point conductor connection is already completed in the factory and all an engineer needs to do is plug the conductors into the contact point.

Conclusion

Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets - are a crucial component in a wide range of products. They offer a simple and secure connection between components on a PCB, and can be used with a variety of connectors. The working principle of Terminal Blocks is based on the concept of making electrical connections when two parts with current-carrying material are moved into contact with each other.
