432615-08-0 Application Field and Working Principle

Barrier blocks, like the 432615-08-0, are designed specificallyfor industrial machines in automated factory environments. Their distinctive hood top and base design provide a secure electrical connection and protect wire insulation from corrosion, dirt, and moisture. As such, this type of terminal block are designed to terminate up to 16 AWG stranded wire with a 0.187” (4.8mm) quick-connect edge.

The 432615-08-0 has a 10 Amp rating and a 600 Volt range with a 0.062” (1.6mm or 0.062in) quick-connect edge. It is a fully-insulated type of terminal block which comes with a built-in hook for a guard wire. This design makes it a great option for any application that requires power distribution and electrical isolation while meeting UL, CSA, and vDE standards.

From an environmental standpoint, the 432615-08-0 is housed in an environmentally friendly UL94-5V flame-rated polyamide insulation that is both dust and water tight. This means that the block is inherently resistant to ozone and UV rays, making it suitable for harsh and hazardous environments. This material also meets 90°C continuous operating temperatures and features a watertight seal for reliable mounting and superior protection.

Looking at the construction of the 432615-08-0, it has a metal base and a moulded base with a low profile design. This makes the block ideal for crowded panels and allows it to be installed and serviced easily. Additionally, it has a wide range of accessories that facilitate panel design such as mounting brackets, hoods, bridges, and terminal shunts to enable a secure data transmission.

Now let’s have a look at the working principle of the 432615-08-0. It involves a two-stage process whereby an insulated rolling head inserts the wire end into the contact chamber and eliminates the risk of accidental short circuits. This ensures that the wire remains firmly in place as soldering is not required.

In addition, the terminal block has many features that have been engineered into it for a higher level of safety and reliability. For instance, the contact pressure is increased due to the built-in spring-loaded contact system and there is also a sliding contact which makes it easier to install and remove wires. Additionally, the termination is adjustable and the terminal blocks can be daisy-chained together.

Finally, the 432615-08-0 has a plastic flange that serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it provides a secure connection and a dust-proof seal, while the second purpose is to withstand a higher mechanical stress. This terminal block can be further adapted using various mounting accessories, which facilitates installation and adds a solid and reliable protection to the power and data supply.
