SCM171000L

Terminal Blocks - Wire to Board

SCM171000L terminal blocks are available in one and two poles, designed for securely connecting devices or circuits in electrical systems. It is ideal for connecting 16AWG wire to electronic boards and automotive and industrial applications.

Application Field

This versatile terminal block can be used in a wide range of applications that include, but are not limited to, automotive, industrial, and commercial control systems and machinery. It is also widely used in the telecommunications sector, where it replaces traditional cable connections in order to provide a robust, low voltage connection.

Working Principle

SCM171000L terminal blocks use the principle of friction connection to accomplish its job. The contact system is composed of an insulation carrying body, a plunger guide, and a split contact bar. The plunger guide forces flanges of the contact bar to grip the wires that are inserted. This creates a connection of friction which prevents the wires from slipping out, even under vibration or movement. The insulation body also adds an extra layer of security by adding protection from heat and short circuiting.

The terminal block is designed to remain functional for years with minimal maintenance. Over time, the contact surfaces start to degrade due to wear and tear. To keep them in good condition, the contact surface needs to be frequently inspected and cleaned to remove any debris or oxidation. This helps to keep the high performance of the terminal block.

One of the main advantages of SCM171000L terminal blocks is its ease of use. They do not require special tools or complex installation processes. All that is required is a standard screwdriver and a secure connection point to attach the terminal block. Additionally, it features a reliability that ensures long-term durability even in harsh environments. The modular design of the terminal block makes power distribution and wiring incredibly easy, which helps in reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

SCM171000L terminal blocks can also be used in combination with other terminal blocks, such as the SCM175000L. This allows for even greater flexibility in wiring and power distribution. With the combination of two terminal blocks, power can be linked from one board to another, creating a truly modular system that can meet the needs of most applications.

In conclusion, SCM171000L terminal blocks are a great solution for power distribution and wiring in automotive, industrial, and commercial control systems. With their easy installation and reliable performance, these terminal blocks offer an ideal solution for those who are looking for a secure and efficient connection.
