EDSTL956/5

Terminal Blocks – Headers, Plugs and Sockets

EDSTL956/5 is a terminal block type used for electrical connection of devices. It is not specifically designed for current usage but for industrial control, especially for sound control installations. These terminal blocks facilitate a conductive connection between two or more devices and can be used for many applications where a permanently connected environment is desired. This type of terminal block – header, plug and socket – is especially suitable for reliable and determined connections.

Application field

Terminal blocks are used in many industries for connecting electrical components such as motors, sensors, cables, or even electrical equipment. These blocks provide a secure connection between various components and are also used in buildings, home automation systems, and more. They are also used in audio systems, so they are widely used in sound control applications. As such, they are commonly found in sound studios and music venues.

Terminal blocks are ideal for connecting high-power electrical systems, such as those found in industrial plants, and for connecting multiple electrical outlets to ensure no power is wasted or hazards caused. In addition, it can be used for connecting telephone and data wiring, as well as for testing electrical installation systems.

Working principle

Terminal blocks typically consist of two parts. The first part is the header and the second part is the plug/socket. The plug or socket is the part that connects with the device, and the header is the part that is secured onto the terminal.

When the plug/socket is connected to the header, it forms an electrical connection between the two devices. To ensure a good connection, the header and plug/socket should be securely tightened. This is why the EDSTL956/5 series is designed with a locking mechanism which allows for a secure and reliable connection.

Another important part of terminal block systems is the conductor. This is the material that runs between the two parts and provides the electrical connection. EDSTL956/5 features two conductors: copper and silver. The copper conductor is used for the high current applications, while the silver conductor is used for signal transmission.

The EDSTL956/5 terminal block’s main purpose is to provide a strong connection that will last, withstanding the pressure exerted by the forces of the components being connected. It is also designed to be user-friendly, with a simple yet secure connector and fast connection, making it suitable for any sound control installation.
