Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

Terminal Blocks are a popular electrical component used in many electronic applications. These types of connectors are commonly used for a variety of different electronic connections, and they are often used when higher voltage or current is needed. In most cases, the terminals will be connected directly to a power supply or other type of source. There are a few different types of Terminal Blocks available including: Headers, Plugs and Sockets.

Headers

Headers are Terminal Blocks that are commonly used for production applications. These types of connectors are primarily used to connect electrical circuits in equipment that is going to be produced in large quantities. Headers are usually made of plastic, insulator and are intended for use in high-volume manufacturing locations. They are small pieces of plastic with two or more holes which contain electrical contacts.

Plugs

Plugs are another type of Terminal Block that is used in many applications. These types of connectors are generally used to connect two devices together. These plugs will typically have either two or three pins and are commonly used for data and audio circuits. Plugs are usually made from insulating material and are typically either black or white in color. The common shapes associated with plugs include: blade, circular, and D-shaped.

Sockets

Sockets are Terminal Blocks that are mainly used for connecting to lighting fixtures. These sockets are used to provide power to lighting fixtures, enabling them to operate. Sockets can either be hard-wired into the fixture itself or they can be wired into a power strip that is connected to the fixture. This type of connector is usually designed to match a particular wattage and current specification and is usually molded out of either plastic or rubber.

Terminal Blocks have a wide variety of applications and can be found in many different types of electronic equipment. They are often used in household appliances, automotive wiring, and industrial equipment. The different types of connectors that are available can provide different levels of protection against power surges and other forms of current leakage. Additionally, the connectors are usually easy to install and require minimal effort in terms of wiring and installation. As a result, they are a cost-effective solution for electronic connections and ensure that reliable connections are made.
