Din Rail, Channel, and 8161820000 Application Field and Working Principle

Terminal blocks are components used to connect electrical wires and cable to a device or panel, allowing for safe and secure connections. Terminal blocks offer a variety of advantages when compared to other kinds of electrical connections, including speed, cost-effectiveness, and convenience.

Types

There are several types of terminal blocks available for use, including: Din Rail, Channel, and 8161820000. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages, as outlined below:

Din Rail Terminal Blocks

These terminal blocks are designed to be clipped onto a Din rail, which is a standardized European metal rail used for mounting circuit breakers and other components. Din rail terminal blocks offer many advantages to other types of terminal blocks, including a more secure connection and the ability to easily rearrange the arrangement of the blocks. However, they can be more expensive and require more space, and you may need to purchase additional Din rail mounting hardware in order to use them.

Channel Terminal Blocks

Channel terminal blocks are designed for connectivity without the need for wiring or soldering. The terminal blocks are snapped into a holder and latched securely in place. This allows for a fast and easy connection, with less risk of mistakes. However, it can be more expensive than Din rail terminal blocks, and the blocks may be more prone to coming loose and requiring re-connection.

8161820000 Terminal Blocks

The 8161820000 terminal block is designed for industrial applications. The blocks are typically made from aluminum or plastic and have two multipole connectors that provide three or four different inputs. This allows for a wide array of connections, making them ideal for a variety of electrical applications. They are also more affordable than Din rail and Channel terminal blocks, making them an attractive option for many customers.

Applications

Terminal blocks are used in a variety of applications, including automotive, electronics, telecommunications, and power distribution. For example, automotive terminal blocks are used to connect various electronics components to the car’s electrical system, such as headlights, taillights, and power windows. In electronics, they are used to interconnect between logic gate elements and circuit boards. In telecommunications, they are used to connect telephone wires to jacks and routers. And in power distribution, they are used to connect the secondary winding of a transformer.

Working Principle

Terminal blocks use a simple connection principle to complete the connection between two wires or cables. The terminals on the block are first placed into slots, which line up with the two wires. This creates electrical contact between the terminals and the wires. The connection is then completed by crimping, soldering, or screwing down the terminals. As the amount of current passing through the connection increases, the connection will require more force (from the crimping or screwing) to ensure a secure connection.
