31061112 Application Field and Working Principle

The 31061112 Terminal Blocks - Wire to Board series is a type of many terminal blocks produced by the famous 3106 series, and was created to operate in the field of industrial control and engineering. This particular terminal blocks series has been designed to endure the toughest industrial environment, making them very reliable when used in the most demanding of conditions.

The 31061112 terminal blocks are highly configurable, with different models and functions available to suit a wide range of applications. Terminal blocks are often used for carrying currents of up to 24A, but the 31061112 terminal blocks have been designed to be able to conduct up to a maximum of 35A, making them suitable for a variety of power switching operations.

The 31061112 series terminal blocks are also notable for their quick installation, which is achieved via their pressure plate design with integrated locking mechanism. This feature ensures a fast and secure installation, while the fastening plate with grooves and hex bolts make sure a high and secure joint current capacity. In addition, these terminal blocks and the associated tools feature a patented quick-connect system called “Quickonâ€, which is designed to make the installation process as easy and convenient as possible.

Some of the most notable features of the 31061112 terminal blocks include their high rigid and cross-linked polyamide (PA) housing, which makes them safe in operating temperature up to 105°C. Moreover, the reinforced power contacts are specifically designed to lower contact resistance, reduce losses and ensure efficient current flow. The contact of the 31061112 terminal blocks is also plated with a nickel-plated copper alloy, which provides good protection from arc erosion and corrosion.

What makes the 31061112 terminal blocks special is the fact that they are available in various configurations, such as those with fixed/moved/spring-loaded contacts, as well as different ratings, sizes, and terminal cross sections. This ensures that they can be used for all kinds of applications, from fastening cables to printed circuit boards and mounting semiconductors. Moreover, they are suitable for plastic and metal housings, meaning they can be used in a variety of industrial and engineering applications.

The working principle of the 31061112 terminal blocks is an electrical contact is established when the internal metallic contact of the terminal block is moved to the inside of the block body. This causes a contact point which produces a current flow in a different direction, thus creating a voltage difference between the two points. By using this voltage difference, current can be conducted, thus allowing for the transfer of electrical energy in a controlled manner.
