VM1575020000G

Terminal blocks - headers, plugs, and sockets provide a wide variety of applications and functions for the delivery and control of electrical energy. The VM1575020000G series, designed for use in demanding industrial and marine environments, is an example of a tough and reliable product. This article will explore the applications of this terminal header, as well as its underlying working principle.

Applications

The VM1575020000G offers functionality suitable for industrial use with increased versatility. Many elements of the product make it a particularly dependable choice for use in outdoor settings, including:

• High IP66 ingress protection
• Vibration resistance
• High operating temperature range reserved to 85 degrees Celsius

With these benefits, the VM1575020000G is suitable for use in a variety of industries including:

• Chemical
• Automotive
• Pharmaceutical
• Marine
• Power distribution

The VM1575020000G provides efficient power distribution between an electrical source and connected components. Used to form highly adaptable control panels, it enables dispersion through long and short runs, within groupings, and into multiple directions with a high-level of redundancy. This can be especially useful in industrial projects, marine environments and other locations where the power demands of the system may shift in through operational use.

Working Principle

As an example of a terminal header, the VM1575020000G is designed to link two discreet electrical circuits either together, or to an electrical source. Normally composed of one live terminal (power input/output) and one neutral terminal (grounding/protection), these headers are a crucial component of an electrical infrastructure.

The VM1575020000G is constructed with a robust plastic insulation shell, offering protection from the natural elements and other outdoor hazards such as water, moisture, and dust. This plastic shell also has protective black stoppers, which cover the circuit-carrying terminal connections and protect them from accidental contact. This is a key feature of the design, as even momentary contact between two pins can short circuit the device.

The VM1575020000G also contains a sandwiched metal sheet frame, which serves to protect against potential hazardous conditions present in many industrial and marine settings. Acting as an effective arc barrier, this frame separates pins for increased safety when using the device in high power loading applications.

Incorporating this advanced design, the VM1575020000G is rated up to 300V and 10A. This makes it suitable for use with medium-medium high current power applications, including relays, contactors, through air circuit breakers, and disconnect switches.

Conclusion

The VM1575020000G is an example of a terminal header designed to robustly deliver power over control panels and networks. Its construction and features provide reliable performance in demanding industrial and marine environments. This product offers a high degree of versatility suitable for a wide variety of industries, making it a dependable component for power electrical systems.
