OSTKR220100

Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

The OSTKR220100 model is a high quality terminal block manufactured by Omega. As part of the Terminals Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets range, it is designed to be used in a variety of applications, from the electronics industry through to DIY projects. In this article, we take a closer look at the OSTKR220100\'s application field and working principle.

Application Field

The OSTKR220100 model is a through-hole terminal block with a 5.08 x 6.35mm diameter pin. It is rated to a maximum current of 16A and a maximum voltage of 250V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. These include automotive, industrial, robotics and manufacturing applications, as well as general purpose wiring and cable management.

The device is capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 125°C, making it ideal for use in higher temperature environments. It also features a push-in cage that increases the amount of force required to disconnect or reconnect the terminals, providing a higher level of reliability and safety in applications where the terminal block may be subject to vibration and shock.

Working Principle

The OSTKR220100 model operates using the simple principle of bridging two conductive parts, in this case the pin and the terminal block, with a bridge of material. This bridge is provided by a simple two-part mechanism, with two insulating pieces that are locked together when the pin is inserted. The pins and terminals can be connected or disconnected by simply pushing or pulling on the two pieces.

When the device is connected, the two insulating parts form a bridge across the terminals that allows for the conduction of electrical current. When the device is disconnected, the two parts separate, breaking the connection and effectively isolating the two parts.

The OSTKR220100 terminal block also features a positive push-in force, which prevents accidental disconnection and provides additional safety. This mechanism is designed to provide reliable connections and to ensure that the device will not become loose due to vibration or shock.

Conclusion

The OSTKR220100 model is a high quality terminal block designed for a variety of applications. With a rated current of 16A and a maximum voltage of 250V, it is suitable for use in a wide range of applications. The device also features a positive locking mechanism, which provides reliable connections and prevents accidental disconnection.

The two part mechanism also provides a simple and reliable means of connecting and disconnecting the device, allowing for a safe and secure connection. All of these features make the OSTKR220100 model ideal for use in a variety of applications, from automotive and industrial to robotics and manufacturing.
