Barrier blocks are used in a variety of industrial control applications for easy interconnection between various electrical components on a panel. Also known as terminal blocks, these devices are aptly named in that they are used to connect two separate electrical circuits together, thus serving as a barrier between them. In such applications, numerous signals must be exchanged between circuits in order to operate properly, and it is the crux of the barrier block to provide a means to do so safely and efficiently.

Barrier blocks come in a variety of styles and designs, usually dealing with two main distinctions: terminal size and number of poles. Terminal size will usually depend on the type of cabling, with most barrier blocks designed with a variety of sizes to accommodate different-sized wires and cables. The number of poles will determine how many electrical connections can be made between the two circuits – with most barrier blocks topping out at 12 or 24 poles. There are also different types of terminations used, such as screw-type (screw connections to the block), push-in (push a terminal into a slot in the block), and spring link (links connect the two poles together).

The design of the barrier block must also take into account the needs of the application. For example, certain barrier blocks are designed to handle high voltages, while others are suited for more sensitive operations. The insulation material of the block is often an important factor as well; for higher power applications, it is typically composed of plastic or ceramic material while in lower power applications, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is commonly used. Additionally, the block must be able to protect against external environmental conditions, such as humidity and temperature.

In simpler applications, barrier blocks may consist of a single row of terminals. More complex barrier blocks may offer two or more rows of terminals, allowing users to establish multiple circuits. In an 8-141 application, multiple rows of terminals are connected by parallel segments of metal conductor called links. The size of the link will vary depending on the application, as will the number of poles that the link is required to cover. The number of poles supported by the link is determined by the application; for example, a 10 pole link is generally used to connect 8 circuits, while a 14 pole link will typically provide for up to 12 circuits.

In regards to their working principle, barrier blocks are designed to provide a safe and effective connection between two separate circuits. The block is typically made up of a set of parallel metal strips which are then connected to each other using screws, rivets, or other connection styles. The terminals on the block are then connected to the component parts of the circuit, allowing for the exchange of power and controlling signals. The block also provides insulation to ensure that the circuit components remain safe from external electrical disturbances, as well as providing a safe and efficient electrical connection.

All in all, barrier blocks are a vital component in many industrial applications. Not only do they provide a safe and reliable connection between two electrical circuits, but they also help contain electrical issues and protect other components from external interference. They are available in various styles, sizes, and configurations, making them suitable for a variety of applications. As such, they are essential components that ensure the safe and efficient running of many industrial processes.
