431301-03-0

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks offer an effective way to manage and organize electrical wires in a variety of projects. The 431301-03-0 is a two-piece connecting block that features three or more terminals. With this terminal block, a single power or control source can bring power to multiple points in the circuit without the need for multiple connections. It can quickly and securely interconnect two or more wires in an efficient way where multiple circuits don\'t need to be independently wired.

The block consists of two distinct parts - the body and the terminal - that are designed to be mated together. The body of the block is a hollow boxopen to one side and closed to the other. The box containsscrews that will accept multiple wire types, such as thosemade from solid copper, stranded aluminum, paper-wrappedcopper strands, or other materials. On top of the box isthe terminal, which is a separate piece.

The terminal is designed so that when the two parts ofthe block are mated, the terminal will press down on theinsulated body, creating a secure connection. The pressuremust be just enough to make a sufficient contact, but notto the point of damaging the wiring. This is why theterminal is designed with a limit stop that indicates whenenough pressure has been applied. To ensure the longestpossible life of the connection, use a torquescrewdriver to set the screws at the necessary 7mm of torque.

Once the two blocks are mated together, the connectionbetween them is typically permanent. The mated blockscan be removed as a unit, allowing for convenientmaintenance and trouble-shooting. Additionally, thisdesign allows them to remain secured together whenstore, ship and handle the block.

These blocks are often used in electrical systemswhich require multiple wires to be connected together. Forexample, in controlling multiple devices, such as lights,motors, solenoids, contactors, switches, and relays, theycan be used to securely connect multiple wires fromvarious control sources. As the control sources changeand vary their voltages, the secure connection ensures thatthe wires remain connected, even during extremechanges in voltage.

In addition to their many applications, Terminal Blocks- Barrier Blocks are also designed for durability andstrength. They are able to withstand exposure to high heat,humidity, salt spray, and chemicals, which makes themideal for outdoor installations. The rugged constructionof the blocks also ensures that they can endure anyrough handling they may experience during shipmentand installation.

The 431301-03-0 Terminal Block-Barrier Block is one ofthe most versatile and reliable connection technologyproducts available today. It is an efficient and secure wayof interconnecting multiple wires from various powersources. When properly installed, the block has a lowprofile, rugged construction and long life, all of whichmake it a cost-effective choice for almost anyapplication.
