Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

T38137-22-0 is a type of terminal block used in electrical wiring. This type of terminal block is known as a barrier block, so named because it physically prevents two or more electrical connections from shorting out. It is often used in industrial settings, but also finds application in residential wiring.

Terminal blocks are mostly made of plastic for insulation, but may also be made from aluminum or stainless steel. The T38137-22-0 terminal block has a unique design with two sets of screws on either side of the block and a removable panel in the center. This allows for the electrical connections to be routed in separate directions while being kept secure.

Each of the screws has holes for wires or cables to be inserted. Wires and cables are generally connected using wire nuts, screw terminals, or crimp connectors. The T38137-22-0 terminal block is capable of accepting both stranded and solid core wire. The physical size of the terminal block is 11mm x 22mm, making it suitable for a variety of wiring applications.

In addition to being a barrier block, the T38137-22-0 terminal block also has a special feature. It can be used to create a jumper across two sets of wires or cables. This feature can be used to create an electrical connection between two circuits while keeping the two circuits physically separate. This functionality is useful in many applications, such as creating a bus bar to transfer power between two different circuits. Additionally, the jumper feature can be used to isolate a single wire or to route one circuit\'s signal to a different circuit.

The working principle of the T38137-22-0 terminal block is quite simple. The wires or cables that are connected to the screws are physically isolated from each other while still maintaining an electrical connection. The removable panel in the center of the terminal block serves as an additional layer of isolation, further preventing any shorting from occurring.

The T38137-22-0 terminal block is a versatile and reliable barrier block designed for a wide range of applications. It is capable of accepting both stranded and solid core wire, and it has a unique jumper feature that allows for two separated circuits to be connected without risking a short. The block is also small in size, making it suitable for use in many different wiring installations.
