Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

431601-18-0 is a type of terminal blocks and barrier blocks. Terminal blocks are electrical connectors that are used to join two or more wires together in an electrical system. Barrier blocks are designed to facilitate the rapid connection and disconnection of conductive elements or wires. They enable multiple conductive elements to be joined together quickly and safely.

Application Field

Terminal blocks and barrier blocks are used in many electrical or electronic applications, such as home or industrial wiring. They can also be used in point-to-point wiring, prototyping and test equipment, or even process automation.

They can also be used in various commercial and residential applications such as lighting, heating, air-conditioning, telecommunication, security, and many other installations. Terminal blocks and barrier blocks have become a popular and frequently used electrical connection solution in today’s world.

Working Principle

Terminal blocks and barrier blocks are relatively simple devices, but they are designed to fulfil very important functions in electrical and electronic systems.

Terminal blocks consist of an insulating plastic body and two terminal posts. The top of the terminal block is usually a flat surface where it is possible to connect the wires that must be joined. The bottom of the terminal block is usually equipped with a base containing a series of screw terminals in which it is possible to connect other wires in a reliable and secure way.

Barrier blocks are composed of a set of vertical plastic barriers with horizontal slots. The vertical barriers are connected by a base on which a series of through connections are made, each of which carries two junction posts. The barrier blocks are designed to allow the transmission of electrical signals from one connection point to another, greatly simplifying wiring.
