OSTVM185550

Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets

OSTVM185550 is a terminal block which consists of headers, plugs and sockets. It is constructed from a high integrity thermoplastic which includes a UL 94 V-0 recognized flame retardant and includes gold plated copper alloy contacts with different contact strips. This terminal block is designed to allow efficient circuit connections and disconnections for prototyping, electronics and equipment.

Applications

This terminal block can be applied to various installations, particularly for the connection of mains, low voltage and control equipment. It is also used for connecting several different circuits in applications such as control systems, signal systems and instrumentation systems. The design allows for easy and safe access to connections without the use of additional tools.

The terminal size is ideal for laptop components and offers full access to trouble shooting and repairing. It is suitable for use where access to the device is limited due to the design of the enclosure. The plug and header are also designed to fit into the thin gauge connectors and are approved by all major component manufacturers.

Working Principle

The terminal\'s working principle is based on the mechanical termination of electrical conductors. It is a simple mechanical connection which ensures a good electrical connection between two or more electrical components. The connection is made through the physical mating of two halves a head and plug, or two halves a socket and a header, as appropriate. This creates a continuous electrical connection between the different conductors and rated currents can be achieved.

The plug and header pins are fitted with the hard wearing and highly reliable contacts to provide a low resistance contact joint. The contacts have a gold plated finish to provide assurance of current conduction. The termianl also features a locking system which helps secure the electrical connection in place even during vibration or shock.
