T38217-21-0

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

The T38217-21-0 is a barrier block designed for electronic systems in a wide range of applications, such as communication or industrial processes. It is a spring-cage terminal block, where the terminals and/or wires are connected with the help of a spring-loaded locking mechanism, as opposed to a screw-terminal type that requires a fastening screw. This terminal block is designed for the electrical connection of a wide variety of signal and power supply lines.

Applications

The T38217-21-0 is widely applicable in a number of industries where a secure, reliable connection is required, such as in the telecommunications, power systems or test and measurement sectors. It is suitable for a variety of applications such as:

• Light and power distribution
• Data communications and network systems
• Instrumentation and testing
• Motion control systems
• Instrumentation testing

The T38217-21-0 can be used as a terminal block interface in distributed control systems, for connecting the process control output or input signals with the data or power cables. The terminal is robustly designed and suitable for use in high density, environmental applications, withstanding the extreme temperatures and rapid changes in temperature that are often encountered in electronic systems.

Design

The T38217-21-0 is a single-level barrier terminal block with a maximum operating voltage of 4 V and a maximum rated current of 10 A. Its design enables reliable connection of the wires to the terminals as well as easy installation. The connection element is made from high-performance polyamide plastics that protect the block against corrosion. The block also features a protective cover that shields it from environmental contaminants. Additionally, the design features a large contact area, ensuring reliable contact and a uniform current flow.

Features

• Easy installation and removal
• High vibration resistance
• High rated current and voltage
• High shock and temperature resistance
• Robust and durable design
• Large contact area
• High stability
• Integrated insulation protection

Working Principle

The T38217-21-0 is designed to be used with a spring-loaded locking mechanism to securely fasten the wires. The connection system utilises a resilient spring-cage tensioning element to ensure the wires are tightly connected in the terminal and provide reliable connections in harsh conditions. The quick-connect system is designed to make installation easy and the complete system is integrated with reliable insulation protection.

The T38217-21-0 terminal block creates an efficient connection between the electronic system and the device while using minimal power. The external connection points enable the connection of the electrical wire directly to the device without the need for extra wiring or soldering. This helps to prevent contamination in the current flow and to simplify the installation process at the same time.

Conclusion

The T38217-21-0 terminal block is an excellent choice for reliable and secure electrical connections in a wide range of applications. Its robust design, high rated current and voltage, and integrated insulation protection provide superior safety and reliability in critical applications. The spring-loaded locking mechanism makes it easy to install and remove, and the large contact area ensures a uniform current flow and secure connections in even the harshest conditions.
