554862-1 Datasheet/PDFTerminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks
Barrier terminal blocks provide secure electrical connections in control panels and other systems. The barrier blocks, like the 554862-1 model, are designed to provide reliable contact between electrical components and systems with minimal risk of contact failure or arcing. Barrier blocks are also designed to protect against system short-circuits, as well as other hazards.
A barrier block consists of two or more electrical contacts mounted on a plastic body. The contacts are arranged in a parallel arrangement so that a device or component can be connected to multiple points on the block. There is usually a central hole in the block to allow connections to be easily passed through without having to unplug the previous connection. The contacts on the block are usually made from copper or gold plated material, for highest quality electrical contact.
The 554862-1 terminal block is a two-pole block with 6.35mm (0.25inch) spacing between the contacts. It is typically used to connect lower currents than other terminal blocks but can provide reliable and durable contact for a long time. The terminal block also features a snap-on locking mechanism, which ensures a secure connection between the terminals and the device or component.
The working principle of the 554862-1 barrier block is simple. A wire is inserted into the contact points of the terminal block and is secured with the snap-on locking mechanism. This ensures that the wire is securely and properly connected pf the block, and that the connection will not be easily damaged or broken. Once the wire is connected, an electrical current is passed through the terminals, providing power to the device or component that is connected.
Barrier blocks like the 554862-1 model are widely used in a variety of industries and applications. They are mainly used in control panels, switch boxes, junction boxes, distribution boxes, and in air conditioning systems. The 554862-1 barrier block is designed to provide long-lasting and reliable electrical contact, ensuring a secure electrical connection and a safe operating environment.
In summary, the 554862-1 terminal block is an ideal choice for providing a secure electrical connection between electrical components and systems. It is a two-pole terminal block with 6.35mm (0.25inch) spacing and features a snap-on locking mechanism to ensure a reliable contact. The 554862-1 is commonly used in control panels, junction boxes, distribution boxes, and switch boxes, providing long-lasting and reliable electrical contact.
