H-040-50802

Terminal blocks are fixed onto a substrate, typically composed of a insulative material, with the head of the terminal block providing strain relief for the wires. The terminal block is connected to both the power source and the cable being protected with a header and plug. Headers and plugs are components which are used to connect the terminal block to a cable, usually through a hole or slots in the plug, and the header is used to securely clip onto the plug.

The H-040-50802 terminal block is a particularly versatile option with multiple applications and capabilities. It features a current rating of 8A, a voltage rating of 600V AC and boasts a temperature range of -50 °C to +125 °C. This terminal block is UL listed so customers will have peace of mind that it is a safe and reliable option.

In terms of applications, the H-040-50802 terminal block can be used for applications where power connections must be reliable, durable, and wire strain relief is necessary. It is suited to a wide range of applications and can be used in applications such as power electronics, lighting, IT applications, and more.

The working principle of the H-040-50802 terminal block is achieved by connecting the power source and the cable with a header and plug, which is done by inserting the plug in the hole on the header. This design offers superior vibration resistance in comparison to other options, which is particularly beneficial in applications such as motors and electric power equipment where vibration levels can be high. The terminal block also features a latch-lock design which ensures that the connection remains tight even in the event of mechanical vibrations.

In addition to the excellent vibration resistance capabilities, the H-040-50802 terminal block also provides excellent protection against short circuits due to its spring-loaded positive contact system. This system ensures that the connection between the plug and the header remains tight and is self-adjustable in case of any connection of misalignment.

The H-040-50802 terminal block is a versatile and reliable option for multiple applications and its features make it the perfect choice for applications where vibration resistance, short circuit protection, and durability are paramount.
