A201404RC

Barrier blocks are a type of terminal block which are used to securely connect two or more signals together, avoiding unintentional shorts between them. The A201404RC is a field-attachable barrier block designed for railroad applications, making it an ideal choice for multi-conductor connections in very harsh industrial environment. This terminal block offers reliable and stable outputs for up to 20 amps of current while being built with a modular design, meaning it can be coupled with a variety of other products.

The A201404RC has a self-contained latch to secure the connections and a pull-in feature to ease the insertion and locking of the conductor wires. This latch also provides a tight connection between the terminals, ensuring that the chosen strips are locked into place. The push-in installation makes it very simple to use, saving time and eliminating the need for additional tools. Additionally, its screwless design eliminates the possibility of shorting out when connecting two conductors together, preventing accidental electrical shock.

The aluminum housing of the A201404RC provides exceptional protection from corrosion or other environmental causes. To further guarantee reliable connection, the spring-loaded contacts are made of high-grade copper with a gold plating, allowing for efficient and stable power transfer. For applications in which EMC is an issue, the design includes optional shielded construction which keeps the RF interference to a minimum and reduces the likelihood of cross-talk from other signals.

In situations where space availability is an issue, the Slim body variant of the A201404RC is an ideal solution, due to its 15% reduction in size compared to the standard design. This version is ideal for controlling signals in cramped spaces such as railway carriages, or other industrial applications where it is important to keep the wires organized without occupying too much space.

The A201404RC is an efficient and effective field-attachable barrier block designed specifically for railroad and industrial applications. The well-built latch ensures that the connections are securely held in place, while the push-in installation and optional slim body design makes it easy to install and use. The aluminum housing and gold-plated contacts then guarantee reliable power transfer, allowing the user to connect conductors without fear of electrical shock or short circuits.
