Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

The OQ14A0500000G terminal block is part of a comprehensive range of headers, plugs and sockets meant for various applications. Various components such as printed-circuit-boards, sockets, test adapter sockets and thermocouple connectors make up the range. It can find its applications in automotive, industrial and consumer markets. OQ14A0500000G comes with a front-locking, screw-down, terminal area that makes it an ideal solution for several applications where heavy mating forces are required. Moreover, it offers secure connections, which make it ideal for automotive and industrial applications that require the utmost reliability and highest electrical performance.

Design and Features

The OQ14A0500000G terminal block has a robust, hard-wearing design. It is made of durable polycarbonate material, which ensures it withstands environmental ageing, corrosive atmospheres, and saline mist. Its design also helps eliminate the risk of flash-over and arcing. The terminal block has two rows of separate connection compartments, along with an end-clip for locked and secure positioning in the mating area. It contains 10 gold-plated contact pins of 0.25 mm diameter, and a retention clip for secure mating. Moreover, it provides secondary locks to mechanically secure cables and reduce the risk of loose wires in the terminal.

Working Principle

The OQ14A0500000G works on the principle of screw-down electrical connections. It has two terminal divisions with long slots that accept the wire connections. These slots can be easily wired by inserting the wires into the slot and then locking them in place using screws.Once connected, the current flows through the pressure contact points without any interruption. Also, the contact slots are specially designed to accept a wide range of both stranded and solid-core wires, enabling the terminal blocks to be used for different types of wiring applications. Furthermore, the terminals can also be used for daisy-chaining or fork-jointing, where two or more connections are required. This method ensures that the connection line is connected to one and the same terminal block.

Conclusion

The OQ14A0500000G terminal block is an immensely versatile product with a range of uses. Its front-locking mechanism ensures secure connections, while its robust design makes it suitable for different types of environmental conditions. Also, its gold-plated contact pins and retention clips offer additional reliability. This terminal block can be used in automotive, industrial, and consumer markets for creating reliable electrical connections.
