T38130-20-0

Terminal blocks, commonly referred to as barrier blocks, are devices used in a variety of applications to interconnect and/or protect electrical wiring. T38130-20-0 is a terminal block specifically designed for use in harsh environment applications. This particular type of terminal block features a specialized design to give optimal performance in environments with extreme temperatures, intense pressure, and/or physical stress. Some common applications of the T38130-20-0 include transportation, military, and automotive applications.

Working Principle

T38130-20-0 terminal blocks are designed to resist vibration, water, and corrosion. They contain a series of contacts, along with insulation, within each terminal block. The contacts can be of different sizes, depending on the voltage transfer requirements. Every contact needs to be either soldered or crimped to the corresponding wire. The insulation within the terminal block prevents current from passing through unwanted pathways. Once all connections are properly established, current is able to pass through the correct terminals, allowing for the desired operation of the device.

Features

T38130-20-0 terminal blocks have a wide range of features that make them suitable for harsh environment applications. They feature a robust design that allows them to resist frequent vibrations, as well as being able to sustain up to 10,000 mating cycles. The necessary contacts are available in a variety of sizes, which allows them to accommodate several different types of electrical wiring. Additionally, they are specifically designed to be resistant to extreme temperatures, of up to 150°C.

T38130-20-0 terminal blocks are designed to be corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for extended, outdoor usage. The contacts are treated with silver plating to increase their corrosion resistance. They also offer a variety of additional protections, such as protection against arc flash and dust ingress, as well as providing protection against ESD. Additionally, they are also designed to be safe for use in hazardous environments, providing protection against electric shocks and explosions.

Conclusion

T38130-20-0 terminal blocks are designed specifically for use in harsh environment applications. Their specialized design makes them suitable for use in a variety of conditions, including extreme temperatures, intense pressure, and vibrational stress. They are corrosion-resistant and are specially treated to offer increased protection against arc flash and ESD. With all of their features combined, they are an ideal choice for applications that require extreme environmental resilience.
