Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks are essential components that connect and electrically separate one circuit from another. T38362-26-0 is a type of barrier blocks that is heavily used in industrial and engineering applications. This article will provide an overview of its application field and working principle.

Application Field

T38362-26-0 can be used in a wide range of industrial and engineering applications including process and electrical control, motor starters, motor control centers, switch gear, switches, breakers, signal conditioning, and panel shops. It is also used in systems that require a higher level of electrical insulation than standard terminal blocks and with applications that require greater safety, such as hazardous locations.

Because of its superior insulation, T38362-26-0 is commonly used in applications that require electrical separation, including liquid level applications. The block is also used in automation applications, which often require precision and reliability in signal switching.

Working Principle

The T38362-26-0 terminal block uses an intriguing design to accomplish its electrical insulation. The key to this is a shrouded floating two-piece insulator. This design combines a floating element, called a slide, that is able to move within the block, and a non-floating element, which is the actual terminal.

The slide, which is located in the center of the block, slides against a pressure pad, which is usually made from a plastic or other non-conductive material. The pressure pad is placed between the slide and the non-floating element. The pressure from the slide causes the pad to press against the non-floating element. This pressure provides electrical insulation between the two pieces.

The slide is also used to help the block maintain an exact and consistent connection. It is designed to ensure that any amount of motion does not interrupt the connection, thus providing a more reliable control of signals in the system.

Conclusion

The T38362-26-0 terminal block is a versatile and essential barrier block often used in industrial and engineering applications. Its superior insulation allows it to be used in hazardous locations and it can be applied for precision and reliability in signal switching. Its two-piece insulator is the key to its electrical insulation, as it uses a pressure pad to maintain a reliable connection between the two pieces.
