Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks: GFTAX-17 Application Field and Working Principle

Terminal blocks are important components of a variety of electrical systems, particularly for applications that require the connection of power and instrumentation signals to the system. Barrier blocks are a type of terminal block specifically designed to isolate circuits, block power, and improve the safety of electrical applications. The GFTAX-17 barrier blocks, manufactured by Weidmüller, are specially designed for Miniature IEC rated installation areas and offer a maximum of safety backed up with the highest mechanical and electrical requirements. Internally, the GFTAX-17 barrier blocks work similarly to a standard terminal block, where the connection of two wires is established by the two screw hook-up terminals of the block. The unique feature of barrier blocks is that it is designed with an extra feature - a barrier that separates the contact terminals into two distinct sides, generally referred to as live and non-live. By doing so, a barrier block effectively isolates any electrical current that passes through it, as well as preventing any voltage spikes from entering the non-live side of the connection.For applications where safety is of the utmost importance, such as for medical devices, barrier blocks are essential components in order to ensure the device meets all safety and quality standards. In the case of GFTAX-17, additional features make it particularly suitable for these types of applications. The integrated IP20 protection of the GFTAX-17 makes it suitable for applications such as in the medical sector or in machine building, where physical contact is likely. Additionally, the temperature range is 0°C to +55°C, making it suitable for a wide variety of environments.The GFTAX-17 is also available with a variety of connection systems and accessories, including an extra side connection to allow for simple wiring activities. This also makes the barrier block highly suitable for applications in the construction industry, where connections may need to be made quickly and safely. The working principle of the GFTAX-17 is simple; two wires are fed into the respective screw terminals of the barrier block, and the barrier blocks act to isolate that connection and prevent any accidental electric shock.The GFTAX-17 barrier blocks are an ideal choice for a range of applications, from medical settings to industrial automation. Their safe and reliable operation is enhanced by their protection rating, temperature range, and standard connection system. This makes them a dependable choice, whatever the project.
