A wide range of accessories are available for use with terminal blocks, designed for a varied array of applications. In this article we will cover the 3248495 application field and the working principle involved.

Introduction

Terminal blocks are a versatile and popular product for electrical, electronic, and automation components. They offer plenty of flexibility to wire and connect different components to each other and provide great protection from short-circuiting. While terminal blocks offer numerous advantages, not all components are compatible, and thus the appropriate accessories must be sourced for each application.

3248495 Application Field

The 3248495 terminal block accessories are ideal for applications which require modular terminal blocks connection. These accessories allow the connection of different types of power, signal, and measurement terminals that would otherwise not be possible to connect, such as discontinued models.

The 3248495 accessories are specifically designed for use with terminal blocks that have a pitch of 5 mm. These accessories are best suited for assembling in both vertical and horizontal positions. Connection is made via a plug-in connection while holding the two terminal blocks together with a clamping element. The clamping element is made of stainless steel and it is the element that provides strain relief.

The 3248495 accessories come with a variety of features such as warning screws, insulation sleeve liners, self-locking function, and mounting endplates for secure attachment.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 3248495 terminal block accessory is based on the terminal block pitch. The terminal block pins must be properly connected to the base of the terminal blocks, which is done via a plug-in connection. The two terminal blocks are then held together by the clamping element of stainless steel, which prevents any strain or tension from being applied from either side of the connection.

The warning screw functions as a link between the two terminal blocks. The insulation sleeve liner provides additional insulation in order to further protect the connection from short-circuiting. The self-locking function also provides additional security, and the mounting endplates allow the terminal block accessory to be securely mounted onto a suitable surface.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 3248495 terminal block accessories offer a highly dependable and secure connection between two terminal blocks with a pitch of 5 mm. With features such as warning screws, insulation sleeve liners, self-locking function, and mounting endplates, these accessories provide the ultimate electrical protection and installation reliability.
