Terminal blocks, or Barrier Blocks as they are alternately referred to, provides a secure mechanized electrical connection between components. These kinds of blocks are widely used for easy, quick assembly and connection. It offers various advantages such as fast installation, space savings, and robust and reliable connections. T38217-04-0 terminal block is a cost effective, robust solution that safely connects your bare wires for panel mounting. It offers basic level of protection against shock and short-circuits, making it suitable for industrial applications. Its unique design allows for quick and easy installation in multiple channels and can be mounted horizontally or vertically. It also has a dust cover to protect the internal electrical contacts from any potential damage. The T38217-04-0 terminal block is designed with a “U-shaped” conductor bar, which is used for electric current to be drawn through from one side to another. This U-shaped conductor bar is made up of two wires connected together in the same physical shape. These wires are connected with small screws, which allows for a more robust connection than other common methods, such as soldering. The electrical current is then drawn through both of these corresponding wires upon application of a certain clamping force. This allows the electrical contact points of the terminal block to remain at a consistent current rating.The full electrical connection between components is completed when the user plugs in a lead into each side of the T38217-04-0 terminal block. This terminal block provides a fast, secure and reliable connection, with the ability to withstand any vibration, shock or temperature changes. Additionally, its dust cover helps prevent any potential damage to the internal electrical contacts, such as corrosion.The T38217-04-0 terminal block is an ideal solution for a variety of applications, such as for industrial applications, IT and telecoms, automotive, off-shore, and even residential insulation. It can also be used to connect components in a wide range of industries, such as machine building, power plant installations, and control and automation industries. The T38217-04-0 terminal block offers a cost effective solution, great safety and reliability, and reduced installation time when compared to traditional connection methods. It is also highly resistant to shock, vibration, temperature fluctuations and dust. Its superior design, and quick and easy installation process, make it a great choice for a variety of applications.
