Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

There is a wide range of industrial equipment where interconnection of components is a necessary requirement. Whether they carry power, data, signals, control and monitoring signals or serve as input/output devices, the need to provide a reliable connection often becomes critical.

Terminal blocks, also known as headers, plugs, and sockets, offer an effective means for securing two components together, while preventing accidental contact of those components.

31017120 Application Field and Working Principle

The 31017120 terminal blocks can be used to connect the main power supply for universal applications in the range of 6.3 A and a voltage up to 1000 V. These terminal blocks are designed for use in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, such as power distribution and control, motor control systems, lighting, and communication systems.

The 31017120 terminal blocks are spring-clamp terminal blocks, featuring a 3-position link with removable cover. The cover protects the contacts against mechanical damage and also acts as a safety measure. The interconnection is made via a spring clamp, which can be opened and closed with your fingers. The clamp securely holds the connection while permitting immediate connection or disconnection without tools.

It is also important to note that these terminal blocks feature insulation displacement technology. This technology allows the connection of wires without additional posts or other tools. As a result, connection time is greatly reduced.

Conclusion

The 31017120 terminal blocks are designed to provide a reliable connection for universal applications. Their spring-clamp design makes installation and maintenance fast and easy. Additionally, the insulation displacement technology makes connection time much faster, and the removable cover offers protection against mechanical damage.
