260A56-10

Terminal blocks - accessories are an integral part of automated machines, systems, and industrial plants. In particular, the 260A56-10 terminal block accessory can help regulate and control the flow of electricity in industrial systems and machines. This article will present the 260A56-10 application field and working principle.

The 260A56-10 terminal block accessory belongs to the family of accessories that provides the connection of incoming power lines, wires, and cables to outgoing power buses. It is designed to provide a secure and safe electrical connection solution for electrical and control wiring in a range of panel-mount applications. This terminal block accessory is ideal for moderate power applications requiring up to 600V, 30A and is available in one pole (1P) or two pole (2P) configurations.

The 260A56-10 features a double spring-loaded clip for strongly fastening a wire. It also features an anti-corrosion current bar composed of thermoplastic material. The commercial temperature range for this terminal block is from -25°C to 120°C and it has a UL94-V0 flammability rating. The wiring ports on the 260A56-10 terminal block are plated to prevent oxidation and provide improved corrosion resistance. Moreover, the terminal can be rated up to CAT 3 for short-duration duty at temperatures up to 80°C.

The main application field of the 260A56-10 terminal block accessory is in industrial control panels. It is well-suited for applications made of copper and aluminum that are subjected to alternating current supplies or direct current supplies. It is also used to connect the cable wires of a machine having a movable arm system with the control circuit. The 260A56-10 terminal block can be used in industrial Schneider Electric devices, such as industrial sensors and motor control systems, as part of the wiring terminal. Moreover, it can be used in control panels, junction boxes, hazardous location installations, medical devices, and power distribution panels.

Terminal blocks perform their function by providing the physical connection between two conductors. This is achieved by providing an electrical path between the wires connected to each terminal. The working principle of the 260A56-10 accessory follows similar concepts and ensures that the connected wires are held firmly in place.Basically, the 260A56-10 terminal block accessory functions by using the double spring-loaded clip to firmly clamp both the wires together. This clip helps to provide a secure connection by reducing the electrical resistance between the two pins and by providing a tight mechanical contact. The spring-loaded clip also helps to keep the wires in place even in the presence of vibrations.

In addition, the thermoplastic current bar ensures that the terminal has good insulation capabilities and prevents oxidation of the connection. This is achieved by keeping water and air away from the electrical contacts and by providing a secure physical barrier between them.

The 260A56-10 terminal block accessories are an ideal choice for many industrial applications as they provide a strong electrical connection and reliable insulation. Their secure clamping system ensures that wires remain firmly clamped in place even in the presence of vibrations. Furthermore, the added anti-corrosion current bar provides a safe and secure electrical insulation. In conclusion, the 260A56-10 terminal block accessory provides a reliable and secure connection and electrical insulation solution for industrial applications.
