The use of terminal blocks in 39.512 applications and the way these work has been a long standing feature of many applications over the years. In the last decade or so, the technology to make use of these devices has advanced significantly, making them an even more powerful asset for many industries. The basic function of a terminal block is to provide a secure connection between two conductive components. Depending on the type of terminal block, these components may be copper wires, ceramic plates, or other electrical materials. The two main types of terminal blocks are barrier blocks and polarity-identified blocks. It is important to understand the differences between the two in order to make an informed decision when choosing the right type of terminal for an application.

Barrier Blocks

Barrier blocks are designed to separate the two conductive components to prevent potential short circuits or the connection becoming weakened. They are typically used in combination with insulation to protect the connections from each other, the environment, and outside interference. For this reason, they are also commonly referred to as isolation terminal blocks. Barrier blocks come in two varieties: traditional and snap-lock.

Traditional Barrier Blocks

Traditional barrier blocks consist of two parts: an insulated body that holds two conductive pieces, which are insulated with an insulation layer, and an actuator that is screwed into the body. This actuator provides a separation between the two conductive pieces, allowing them to be connected without any contact. The actuator is also used to secure the wires, so that they do not become loose or disconnected. Traditional barrier blocks are handy because they can be retrofitted into existing systems without having to disconnect and reconnect everything. This makes them a popular choice for applications where there is an existing installation and wiring.

Snap-Lock Barrier Blocks

Snap-lock barrier blocks provide a more secure, reliable, and consistent connection than traditional terminal blocks. This is because they have a clip that snaps into place over the two conductive pieces. This provides a firm, positive connection that is less prone to failure. Snap-lock terminal blocks are also easier to maintain and install than traditional terminal blocks. They do, however, require a bit more effort to disconnect and reconnect.

Polarity-Identified Blocks

Polarity-identified blocks have been designed to provide a simpler, more reliable connection in applications requiring a more secure connection. They work by identifying the polarity of the wires or components that are connected before allowing an electrical current to flow. This means that, when used correctly, the electrical current is flowing in the correct direction and any potential damage from reverse currents is prevented. This makes them extremely useful for applications where continuity of operations is of utmost importance, such as medical equipment or industrial machinery.

Polarity-identified blocks come in two varieties: the traditional and the snap-lock Polarity-identified terminals. Both of these types have the same basic design, with two conductive pieces that are separated by an insulation layer and an actuator for making and breaking connections. Traditional polarity-identified blocks require the use of two screws or bolts, which are tightened to ensure the connection is secure. Snap-lock polarity-identified terminals are slightly different, as they require a clip that is clicked into place over the two conductive pieces. Both types of polarity-identified terminal blocks are designed to ensure the connection does not become loose or disconnected through vibration or wear and tear.

Conclusion

Terminal blocks in 39.512 applications come in two main varieties: barrier blocks and polarity-identified blocks. Barrier blocks serve to separate two conductive pieces to prevent potential short circuits, and come in both traditional and snap-lock forms. Polarity-identified terminal blocks, on the other hand, are designed to identify the polarity of the connection before allowing an electrical current to flow, ensuring that the current is flowing in the correct direction. Both types are available in traditional and snap-lock versions; the traditional versions require two screws or bolts for securing the connection, whereas the snap-lock versions require a clip that is clicked into place.

Whichever type of terminal block is used in a 39.512 application, it is important to ensure that it is correctly installed and regularly maintained to ensure its reliability. Additionally, understanding the differences between the types of terminal blocks available is an important part of making an informed decision when selecting the appropriate one for the application.
