Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

Application Field

432303-14-0 terminal blocks are mainly used in wet locations such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other areas where water and moisture can come into contact. Due to their weatherproof structure, they can also be used externally. They are also suitable when weather-resistant components are required and where higher voltage is necessary. The terminals are also commonly used for assembling customer testing stations and other electronic projects.

Barrier blocks have several applications and are used in a wide range of industries. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings such as automotive, HVAC, ventilation, and electrical wiring systems. Additionally, they are also provides electrical access for monitoring and measurements.

Working Principle

The 432303-14-0 terminal blocks are designed with three parts: a screw terminal, a heat-shrinkable sleeve, and a cable lug. First the cable lug is placed in the sleeve and then secured in place with a screw. When the screw is tightened, the cable lug is firmly gripped in place, providing electrical contact between the lug and the screw terminal. The heat-shrinkable sleeve helps against corrosion and adds further protection to the connection.

Barrier blocks are used to separate two circuits, protecting them from touching each other and preventing a short circuit. They feature an integrated barrier within the terminal block which provides a physical barrier between the two circuits, breaking the current and preventing electric shock. This allows multiple circuits to be connected to each other without having to worry about electrical interference.

Conclusion

The 432303-14-0 terminal blocks are designed for wet locations and weather-prone environments. They are suitable for many industrial and commercial settings and also provide reliable protection against accidental electrical contact. Barrier blocks, on the other hand, provide an extra level of safety by isolating two circuits from each other and breaking any current between them.
