Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

The 432600-09-0 terminal block combines a modular barrier block and a terminal block design creating a unique and efficient solution for industrial wiring applications. This terminal block is perfect for machine builders and machine users requiring both a terminal block connection and a physical barrier between live and neutral field wiring.

Barrier blocks are designed to create a physical separation between live and neutral wiring in order to prevent potential safety issues and keep installations in compliance with industry standards, in this case providing UL 1059 UL/CSA 1286 certification. The terminal block supports up to 24 AWG wire, with a hosting range from one to five pole setups, allowing flexibility and customization when it comes to large projects. This is a great solution for machine installers and manufacturers.

Benefits of the 432600-09-0 Terminal Block

• Compact design is easy to mount and saves space
• Complies with industry regulations
• Supports up to 24 AWG wire
• Accommodates one to five pole setups
• Optional accessories make for easier wire termination
• Terminal block is pre-wired for easy installation

432600-09-0 Working Principle

The terminal block design itself utilizes an insulation displacement connection (IDC) technique to make the electrical connection between the field wiring and a terminal strip. An insulation displacement contact (IDC) is a one-piece electrical connector that uses a pre-formed metal blade to cut through the wall of an insulation covered wire and make a secure electrical connection. The IDC method of making the electrical connection is the most secure and efficient method of connecting live and neutral wires.

When the wire is inserted into an IDC slot and pushed down, the metal blades cut through the insulation and press into the wire\'s copper conductor. This makes a secure electrical connection that is corrosion resistant due to the tight contact made between the metal blade and the copper conductor.

The 432600-930 terminal block also contains a special insulation material that prevents electric currents on one side from crossing over to the other side and maintains a consistent level of insulation resistance even after multiple connection cycles. This superior insulation material also improves the safety of the connection.

The barrier block portion of this terminal block is made from a special polyamide material which provides greater durability and strength than other materials. The terminal block also features a snap-on cover that keeps the barrier block secure and closed for safety.

In addition, the terminal block has a selectable level of grounding capability. This allows the terminal block to be used in different wiring applications and helps to simplify the installation process.

The 432600-09-0 terminal block is an innovative solution that combines a modular barrier block and a terminal block design to provide a reliable and efficient solution for industrial wiring applications. With its compact size and UL/CSA certification, it is a great choice for machine installers and manufacturers.
