2007-ST

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

2007-ST terminal blocks, also known as barrier blocks, are widely used in the automation, robotics, and manufacturing industries. These blocks help to secure and organize the wiring and connections between electrical and electronic components, as well as provide a physical barrier against interference and EMI/RFI interference.

The 2007-ST terminal block is a two-piece plastic and/or metal system, consisting of a connector base and a protective plastic barrier. The base is typically fixed to a panel that can house the electrical components and act as a platform for the connections and wiring. The barrier contains various entry points for wiring and terminals to accept the wiring. The terminal blocks are available in a variety of sizes, configurations, and styles to meet different application requirements.

Application Field

The 2007-ST terminal blocks are commonly used in several industries such as automotive, lighting, HVAC, and robotics. They are also used in power supplies, industrial controls, instrumentation, video systems, audio systems, consumer electronics, and other applications requiring higher levels of noise protection.

The terminal blocks are typically made of high-heat-resistant plastic, which makes them suitable for high-temperature environments. In addition, the barrier material may also include tin-plated copper, aluminum, and zinc alloys, providing excellent corrosion resistance. The metal materials also increase the element\'s stiffness, making them highly durable.

The terminal blocks are also suitable for use in harsh industrial environments, such as in the food and beverage industry. Since these blocks can withstand various temperatures and moisture, they can be used in high-pressure washdown and steam cleaning applications.

Working Principle

The 2007-ST terminal blocks are designed with a simple working principle: power and signal wiring is connected to the same terminal block with the help of a pressure-sensitive conductor. This connection is made through two screw terminals and a pressure-sensitive connector. In addition, the terminal blocks can also feature a variety of jumper configurations, allowing for bridging different connections.

The 2007-ST terminal blocks are designed to reduce the risk of shock and interference with a non-metallic insulating base that constricts the electrical arc when the connection is broken. The current is regulated through mechanical features that restrict the arc, providing greater protection. These terminal blocks can also be used in high-voltage applications by providing additional insulation between the terminals and wires.

Finally, a unique feature of the 2007-ST terminal blocks is the ability to customize each block for specialized applications. For example, some blocks may be configured with high-tension springs to allow for faster connections, while others may be designed for soldering or crimping for permanent connections. By incorporating these features, the terminal blocks can be tailored to meet specific application requirements.
