Introduction of Terminal Blocks – Wire to Board

Terminal blocks, also known as terminal boards or strips, are convenient devices used to connect wires to each other and to electronic devices. They are often used to secure and simplify wire connections in automatic control systems and building control applications. In this article, we will cover the application fields and working principles of terminal blocks, especially those in the Wire to Board (WTB) design.

History of Terminal Blocks

The earliest form of terminal blocks were invented in the 19th century by Herr Plischkau, a German electrical engineer. As early as 1844, he designed an insulated metal strip with multiple metal clips spaced regularly throughout the strip. This was the first iteration of what we now know as the terminal block. Since then, terminal blocks have undergone many iterations to improve design and usability, and now come in a variety of materials and constructions.

Application Fields of Terminal Blocks

Terminal blocks are widely used in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, automotive wiring, marine, and aviation systems. In an industrial setting, terminal blocks are used to make multiple-wire connections within large control systems, such as automation controls, monitoring systems, and more. Because of their modular nature, terminal blocks can easily be reconfigured and replaced in order to accommodate different kinds of wiring.In consumer electronics, terminal blocks are used for wiring connections to various types of appliances. For example, they are used to connect the wiring for TVs, computers, security systems, and many other electronic devices. Terminal blocks are also used in automotive, marine, and aviation systems as well.

Benefits of Terminal Blocks

Terminal blocks offer several key benefits for different types of systems. In the industrial setting, terminal blocks are often used to reduce the number of individual wires between devices, thus reducing complexity and improving serviceability. Additionally, terminal blocks can minimize the risk of failure due to improper wiring or corrosion of metal contacts. In consumer electronics, terminal blocks can be used to make wiring easier. They can reduce the amount of space required for wiring, making appliances easier to service. Moreover, terminal blocks offer a higher degree of flexibility, making them ideal for use in devices with multiple ports.

Types of Terminal Blocks

Terminal blocks are generally divided into two categories: PCB terminal blocks and WTB terminal blocks. PCB terminal blocks are typically used to connect multiple circuits, such as those found in PCs and equipment control systems. The terminals used in these blocks are installed directly onto a system’s printed circuit board.On the other hand, WTB terminal blocks are designed for applications where the assembly of a PCB solution is not necessary or feasible. These blocks are designed for wiring into panel or chassis-mounted systems. WTB terminal blocks are usually composed of two main parts: the connection head and the base plate. The connection head is the part that typically contains the terminal contacts. The base plate is what is mounted onto the panel or chassis.

1884520000 Application Field and Working Principle of Terminal Blocks – Wire to Board

The 1884520000 series of terminal blocks are WTB type terminal blocks manufactured by Schurter. They are UL rated and RoHS compliant, and are designed for use in high-power applications up to 35A and 400V. The 1884520000 terminal block consists of a connection head, which is secured to a base plate with screws. The connection head features high-temperature insulation, gold-plated contacts, and multiple binding post connections. The base plate has a number of mounting holes for easy installation.The working principle of the 1884520000 terminal block is simple. In applications where the cables are inserted, the terminals are clamped onto the cables using a screwdriver. This clamps the cable in place and makes a secure electrical connection. In applications where opposite terminals need to be connected, a bridge terminal can be used to make the connection.

Conclusion

Terminal blocks are convenient devices used to connect wires to each other and to electronic devices. In this article, we have discussed the history, application fields, benefits, and working principles of terminal blocks, especially those of the WTB type. The 1884520000 series of WTB terminal blocks manufactured by Schurter are UL rated and RoHS compliant, and are designed for use in high-power applications up to 35A and 400V. They are easy to install and use, making them ideal for a variety of systems.
