Terminal blocks, headers, plugs and sockets are vital pieces of connecting equipment used in the electrical, power, datacom, instrumentation, medical and electronics industries. One particular type of terminal block, the 2-796700-4, is designed specifically for electronic applications. This article examines the intended application field of the 2-796700-4, as well as its working principle.

Application Field

The 2-796700-4 terminal block is designed to meet the demands of a variety of applications. It can be reliably used in indoor as well as outdoor environments and excels in harsh, hazardous areas. Its UL approval confirms this product is suitable for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 gas environment atmospheres. The terminal block operates in the temperature range of -40° C to +85° C (-40° F to +185° F).

Design

The 2-796700-4 terminal block design comprises several elements. The main material used in the manufacture of the block is polycarbonate. The design of the product is such that it fits standard circular cut-out design for both metric and imperial size holes and also includes provisions for additional bracing. Maximum permissibles insulation displacement wire is 16 AWG (2.5mm²) and operating voltage is 600V @25° C.

Benefits

The 2-796700-4 terminal block provides several key benefits, allowing for quick and easy installation. The product features an IDC contact technology (Insulated Direct Contact) which eliminates the need for screwdriver and reduces connection time to almost zero. This reduces frustration at the installation stage, as screwdriver connections are prone to errors.

The superior design of the 2-796700-4 ensures direct and secure connection to cable, making this terminal block suitable for use in applications which require a very high frequency of connection and disconnection. This product can be easily dismantled and reassembled into several separate parts as required, so is suitable for applications in situations were an unusual number of connections are needed.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 2-796700-4 terminal block uses a simple concept. Connections are made by pressing a male insulation displacement connector (IDC) into a female IDC connector, thus creating a secure, insulation-displacing connection. This connection technology is commonly found in electrical, power, datacom, instrumentation, medical and electronics industries.

Connections are made in two separate stages. First, the bare wire is inserted into the IDC connector, which creates an electrical connection between the wire and the terminal block. Next, a washer is inserted between the connector and the wire to ensure a tight, reliable connection. The washer also helps to protect the connections from the elements by providing a waterproof seal.

Conclusion

The 2-796700-4 terminal block is designed to provide a reliable connection for a wide range of applications. Its ability to securely connect to cable in two stages, using the insulation displacement technology, makes it a suitable choice for situations which require a high frequency of connections and disconnections. It provides users with quick and easy installation in indoor and outdoor environments and harsh, hazardous areas.
