T37171-26-0

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks have many application fields and working principles, one of the more popular variants being the T37171-26-0.

This double level barrier block is rated to 600 volts and is suitable for use in applications with other blocks of the same dimensions and ratings.

It offers two terminals on the top level and four terminals on the lower level, each with their own separate barriers to separate the circuits from each other. This helps to ensure the protection of the devices from accidental shorts, overloads and other potentially hazardous conditions.

The connection of the terminals is facilitated by the two tightening screws.Simply insert the wires into the terminations and then tighten the screws. The screws are designed to distribute the clamping load over the connector while also lessening the risk of wire strain. It also helps to ensure a more secure connection over time.

The terminal block is UL recognized and complies with UL 486D standards in the US, as well as CSA C22.2. No. 2 in Canada.

It is designed to be used in different applications such as industrial control, electrical motor connections, safety circuits, appliances, and lighting.It is also suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions due to its high temperature -40 to 105 °C tolerance.

The terminal block also features removable bridges,which reduces the stock needed for the different varieties of wiring options that may be needed. This allows for maximum flexibility when it comes to wiring configurations, while also reducing the mounting and wiring time.

In order to meet the most demanding applications, the T37171-26-0 terminal block is protected against differential-mode surges. This is achieved by the use of a unique MOV protection circuit integrated into the terminals. This ensures reliable protection performance throughout the life of the application.

The double level design of barrier blocks such as the T37171-26-0 makes it an ideal solution for applications that require two-level wiring complexity and/or redundancy. For application with only one level, the T37171-26-0 can also be used. This way, it can be used to power multiple loads while keeping them wired separately, in case they need to be wired differently at some point instead of having to replace the whole block.

Finally, the block can be powered either by a two-pole screw tight terminal or a two-pole spring clamp terminal. This helps increase the versatility of the device, making it suitable for use in different environments and power sources.
