ELM081200

Terminal blocks are types of connectors that are used to quickly and easily connect two electrical wires to a circuit board. The ELM081200 is a particular wire-to-board terminal block with many industrial applications.

The ELM081200 is an 8-position terminal block that is capable of dissipating up to 1.2kW of power on each side. It has a press-fit connection that reduces wiring time, and its light gray housing makes it easy to see in most conditions. Additionally, the block is UL-approved and UL-1059 performance-listed, making it certified for safe use in many different applications.

This terminal block is particularly well-suited for applications in industrial automation, automotive electronics, medical and healthcare settings, power distribution in aircrafts and ships, consumer household appliances, and other wire-to-board installations where power must be quickly and safely transferred from one device to another.

In terms of working principles, the ELM081200 is based on the common screw-clamp principle design. This design works on the principle of 2D compression, which means that two dedicated screws press the two sides of the connector against the wire, creating a conductive pathway between the two points. This makes it easy and reliable to connect electrical wires of various sizes, and ensures efficient power transfer without glitches.

The screw-clamp principle also contributes to the electrical safety of the ELM081200. It reduces the potential for resistance along the connection, and minimizes arcing and sparking. It also allows for re-tensioning and re-torquing down the line, which makes it ideal for installation, maintenance, and field service.

The ELM081200 is a versatile and reliable terminal block that is well-suited for a wide range of applications, and is designed to quickly and safely transfer power from one point to another. With its screw-clamp design, it reduces the potential for resistance, arcing, and sparking, making it a safe and reliable choice for many different industrial settings.
