Barrier blocks are a type of terminal block that provides a physical barrier by separating individual sections of the terminal block. This type of terminal block is useful in applications where multiple inputs or outputs need to be combined, such as for multi-channel data acquisition systems, fan controllers, light dimmers, or other applications requiring precise control or monitoring. Barrier blocks are also designed to provide additional wiring protection, as the separated sections are typically filled with an inert dielectric gas or a mineral oil to protect the electronics.

Types of Barrier Blocks

Barrier blocks come in a variety of types, with different features designed to suit various applications and needs. The most common types are double-level barrier blocks and single-level barrier blocks, which provide a physical barrier between input/output terminals in a double-level or single-level arrangement. The double-level barrier blocks also contain support posts on each side, which provide additional wiring support. Additionally, some barrier blocks have spring clips on the underside that allow for easy mounting onto a flat surface.

In addition to the different types of barrier blocks, there are also a number of accessories available to suit different applications. These include insulated end caps, pass-through blocks, and terminal covers.

2-1546969-2 Application Field and Working Principle

The 2-1546969-2 is an electrical barrier block designed to provide physical separation between power and ground connections. It is commonly used in industrial and consumer applications where electrical safety is paramount. The barrier block consists of two internal sections, with the first section providing a physical barrier that protects against accidental reverse connections of power and ground. The second section is used to house the electrical connections, and the entire block is constructed of insulated Polypropylene material.

The 2-1546969-2 is designed to accommodate a wide range of wire gauges, from 10 gauge to 12 for the power side, and from 14 gauge to 16 for the ground side. The block is equipped with ground jumpers between each pair of power and ground blocks, to ensure proper equalization of the electrical loads. In addition, the barrier block is designed to be easily mounted to a flat surface, using either bolts or spring clips on the underside.

Benefits of the 2-1546969-2

The 2-1546969-2 provides numerous benefits in its design. Firstly, the internal barrier ensures that incorrect connections cannot be established. Secondly, the interchangeable jumper connections allow for flexibility in terms of connection configuration, while still providing a secure connection. Finally, the spring clip design allows for easy mounting onto a flat surface.

The 2-1546969-2 is an ideal terminal block choice in applications where safety is a major concern. It is also an excellent choice for applications where multiple inputs or outputs need to be combined.
