T38112-10-0

Terminal blocks are a type of electrical connector used to terminate electrical cables. They are a common item in electrical and electronics installations. Barrier blocks are an extended type of terminal block that provide better isolation of each connection point. The T38112-10-0 is a type of barrier block terminal. It is used in various applications, primarily for handling power.

Design and Features

The T38112-10-0 is constructed primarily of plastic, though it does have metal studs on each of its terminals. It has a single pole (live) and double pole (neutral and ground) terminals, both of which can support a maximum of 16 amps. The overall size is 2.63” in length, 0.86” in width and 1.1” in height, making it suitable for use in confined spaces. It also has a terminal-locking feature, ensuring good connection between cable and terminal.

Application Field

The T38112-10-0 is suitable for use in electrical installations, particularly in power distribution and distribution boards. It is suitable for use with both low voltage and high voltage systems. It is also used in switchgear, industrial control systems and lighting applications. It is also suitable for use as a distribution point for other types of equipment such as meters, relays and motor starters.

Working Principle

The working principle of the T38112-10-0 is simple. It is designed to make electrical connections between one or more cables and a source of power. This is done by inserting the end of the cable into the respective terminal block and tightening the screw-type clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism creates a good electrical connection between the cable and the terminal block. This connection is then used to provide electricity to the connected equipment or device.

Advantages

The T38112-10-0 has several advantages over other types of electrical connectors. Firstly, the single-pole and double-pole terminals allow for the connection of two cables at one point, which simplifies the wiring process. Secondly, the terminal-locking feature ensures a good connection between cable and terminal. Thirdly, the use of plastic construction makes the terminal block lightweight and easy to install. Finally, the small size of the T38112-10-0 makes it very suitable for use in tight and confined spaces.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the T38112-10-0 barrier block terminal offers a simple and effective solution for electrical installations. It is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including power distribution, switchgear, industrial control systems, and lighting applications. It has several features that make it highly advantageous over other types of electrical connectors, including a single pole and double pole terminals, a terminal-locking feature, and a small size suitable for tight spaces.
