Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

A terminal block is a type of electrical connection component. The 2-1546011-9 terminal block is a barrier block, one of the more common types of terminal block used in industrial applications. This type of terminal block uses a pair of insulated barriers to create multiple connection points within a single terminal block. This allows it to serve the role of more than just a single point of connection—it acts as an electrical junction that allows for multiple connections. In addition to the two primary barriers, there are also two secondary barriers that can further divide the connections as needed.

Features and Benefits of the 2-1546011-9 Terminal Block

• The 2-1546011-9 terminal block is designed for a wide variety of industrial applications.
• It is UL listed and CSA certified for quality assurance.
• The two primary barriers and two secondary barriers provide for multiple contact points in a single terminal.
• The insulated barriers are formed of a thermoset material which is resistant to heat, cold, impact, and voltage.
• The 2-1546011-9 terminal block is designed for use with 22-12 AWG wire and screws/clamps.
• The block has an air clearance of up to 10mm and touch clearance of up to 6mm.
• It is a cost effective solution for when multiple contact points are needed in a single terminal block.

Application Fields and Working Principle

The 2-1546011-9 terminal block is well suited to a range of industrial applications, particularly in the fields of electrical engineering, automation, and control. In these fields, the terminal block is used to divide and connect multiple wires for power, control, and communication. The block is connected to the circuit via the screws or clamps, which are threaded into the holes at the base of the terminal block. This connection is made through electrical contacts in the form of copper strips, which are embedded in the insulation. The electrical current is conducted between the metal contact strips and then out to the connected wires.

The insulation barriers that separate the multiple contact points are made of a thermoset material. This material is resistant to both heat and cold, and to impact and voltage as well. The two primary barriers are designed to create four separate pathways for the electricity to travel through, while the optional secondary barriers can be used to further divide the contact points into up to six separate connection points.

The safety features built into the 2-1546011-9 terminal block make it an ideal choice for industrial applications. The air clearance is up to 10mm, and the touch clearance is up to 6mm. This ensures that any exposed live parts remain well out of reach of the operator, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock or other accidents. Additionally, the UL listing and CSA certification provide an extra layer of assurance as far as quality control and safety.

The 2-1546011-9 terminal block is an efficient and cost effective solution for when multiple contact points are needed in a single terminal block. With its easy installation, UL-listed components, and a UL-certified rating for safety, the 2-1546011-9 terminal block can be a dependable and reliable choice for industrial applications.
