Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

430601-05-0 is a Terminal Block Barrier device designed to keep a line of electrical contact closed or open. It is used for both higher and lower amperage load protection applications. This type of terminal barrier is often used as an interface between a circuit design and its bus, or as a safety device to prevent accidental connection or disconnection of electrical lines. The device consists of an opaque barrier which is inserted into the contact terminal, preventing current from flowing through the two lines.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 430601-05-0 Terminal Block Barrier can be used in many applications including industrial control, instrumentation, audio/visual equipment, and power distribution. It is also commonly used as an interface between higher powered components, such as devices with more than 40 Amps, and those with lower power requirements such as those with 25 Amps or less.

The working principle of 430601-05-0 barrier is quite simple. When the connection is not in use, the strings of contact fingers remain open so that no current will be able to flow between them. By insertion of the barrier, the contact string on either side of the barrier remains open while the contact string on the other side of the barrier may be engaged.

When the barrier is inserted, several fingers on either side of the barrier are pushed into contact, closing the circuit around the barrier. In order to break the connection, the barrier must be pulled out, interrupting the electrical connection between the two strings of contact fingers. This makes the 430601-05-0 barrier an extremely safe and reliable way to make and break connections electronically.
