Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

The OSTYK40207030 terminal block is an essential piece of circuit protection for any application. These blocks act as barriers to prevent electricity from flowing through a circuit and creating short circuits or damaging components. They are the most common form of barrier blocks used in industrial applications and are made from high temperature plastic or ceramic materials.

This specific terminal block features nickel plated brass terminals which are socketed and held in a pre-determined pattern. It also has an integrated thermal cut-off feature, which automatically switches off the power in the event of an overload, preventing further damage to the circuit.

The OSTYK40207030 terminal block is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, such as instrumentation, automotive, marine, power supplies, telecoms, audio, and data processing systems. It is especially useful for applications where space is limited as its slim design allows it to fit into tighter spaces.

Application Field

Due to its high temperature tolerance and robust construction, the OSTYK40207030 terminal block is often used in harsh industrial environments. It can handle currents of up to 40A and is resistant to extreme temperatures, making it ideal for use in high temperature applications such as exhaust and engine components. It is also suitable for use in marine applications due to its protection against corrosion.

The OSTYK40207030 terminal block is particularly useful in power supply applications due to its integrated thermal cut-off feature. This feature allows automatic switching in the event of an overload, preventing further damage to the circuit and providing an extra layer of protection. It is also useful in automotive, telecoms, and data processing systems as it can handle high voltages and is resistant to extreme temperatures.

Working Principle

In a typical installation, the OSTYK40207030 terminal block would be installed between two pieces of equipment. The wire connections would be made to the terminals, and a mechanical connection between the two pieces of equipment would be made by a screw or bolt. This would create an electrical connection between the components, allowing them to communicate and interact.

In the event of an overload, the integrated thermal cut-off feature would automatically switch off the power, preventing further damage. This feature is especially important in high powered applications as it reduces the risk of fires or short circuits by protecting the circuit from excess electricity.

Overall, the OSTYK40207030 terminal block is an essential piece of circuit protection for a wide range of applications. Its slim design and robust construction make it ideal for use in harsh environments, and its integrated thermal cut-off feature provides an extra layer of protection in high powered applications.
