Terminal blocks are a essential component within the application field of din rail mounted products, channel applications, and beyond. They provide reliable and efficient electrical connections between several wires or cables, enabling the user to easily create and maintain circuit connections. Furthermore, these connectors are designed to be user friendly, as they offer simple installation and provide safety against short circuits.

Terminal blocks include a range of products, such as screw, pluggable, spring, and insulation displacement connections (IDC). Each of these connection types offer various advantages applicable to different fields of din rail mounted, channel applications, and others.

Screw Terminals: Screw terminals are the most widely used due to their reliable electrical connections compared to other forms of connectors. Available in a range of types and sizes, the selection of products typically includes surface, shrouded, and flat head screw terminals. The components feature either a pre-drilled hole or guide hole, and are designed to be used with lugs that simply screw into the block.

Pluggable connections: Pluggable terminal blocks offer the same advantages as screw terminals, but with the added benefit of easy removable/re-installation of the connector. These connections are applicable for applications in harsh environments, where high vibration and moisture may be present. These blocks are designed to fit securely into the din rail using a spring-loaded mechanism which provides secure and reliable electrical connections.

Spring Cage Clamp Terminals: Spring cage terminals offer a cost effective and fast connection solution due to their quick assembly. These components require no additional tools, as the spring element holds the conductor firmly in place. The clamps are easy to handle and can be left in place for maintenance or upgrade.

Insulation Displacement Connectors: Insulation displacement connectors (IDC) are a great alternative to screw type connector blocks and provide a cost-efficient connection solution when installation time or space is limited. Unlike screw connectors, IDC requires no screwdriver nor specialized tools. Rather, the connection is made simply by inserting the wire into the block.

Besides different connection types, there are a range of terminal block designs suitable for din rail, panel, and channel applications. Din rail mounted terminal blocks use a fixing screw or thumbscrew to anchor them to the din rail and provide extra strength and integrity to the electrical connection. They are versatile, and are available in various formats and sizes.

Channel based terminal blocks are designed for board level connection with a channel design. This type of block is typically used in mid- to large-scale applications which require a high degree of resistance from vibrations and shocks. These blocks feature easier access for installation and maintenance compared to din rail designs.

When selecting the appropriate terminal block for the application, several factors needs to be taken into account, such as size, electrical current and voltage ratings, vibration and shock resistance, and so on. The wiring diagram which shows the layout of the cables and their connection points should also be consulted.

The working principle of the terminal blocks can be summed up in a few simple steps – taking the conductor, passing it through the designated space, and connecting both part’s wire ends together by using screw or other fastening measures. Then the terminal blocks enable the user to have a safe and solid electrical connection in which he can enjoy a convenient control and management of the wires.
