T38233-02-0

Terminal blocks and barrier blocks are two types of electrical components that are commonly seen in a variety of applications. Terminal blocks, also referred to as screwless terminal blocks, allow multiple wires to be connected without requiring hand wiring or soldering. Barrier blocks are used to separate two circuits, limit current, and provide insulation. T38233-02-0 is a barrier block terminal designed by Phoenix Contact and is characterized by high insulation and current ratings.

T38233-02-0 is a 3-pole disconnect terminal block with a single solid conductor bar. It is suitable for applications with 32 Amps continuous current and 35 Amps peak current. The rated voltage is 500 Volts. The insulation distance of this disconnect terminal block is 9.5 mm and it can easily switch off the circuit and provides functional safety.

The main body of the terminal block is made of high-quality black thermosetting plastic which is self-extinguishing. Its screwless termination system ensures fast and safe electrical connections. The terminal block also features a restricted opening mechanism with a fastened connection. It has an additional set of terminal clamps that ensure a safe and secure connection to other components.

In terms of application fields, the T38233-02-0 terminal block can be used in a variety of industries, such as power supply, automation, control, and a number of other applications that require a quick disconnecting system. It is suitable for applications that are subject to vibrations, thanks to its robust construction and features. It is also suitable for hazardous areas due to its IP20 protection rating.

The working principle of T38233-02-0 is quite simple. When the screwless connection is tightened, the terminal block makes electrical contact with the connecting cables. Once the connection is secured, the disconnect mechanism switches off the circuit and ensures functional safety.

The T38233-02-0 terminal is a robust and durable barrier block option that offers efficient electrical connections without much difficulty. With a wide range of application areas and reliable installation, this terminal is highly suitable for a range of wiring tasks.
