List of Terminal Blocks

A terminal block (terminal strip) is a modular, insulated block which connects one or more circuits to another. The connections are typically made by a screw or clamp lowering onto a bare wire in order to complete the connection. Due to this type of connection, terminal blocks are extremely easy to use and are available in a variety of types across multiple applications.

Terminal blocks, also referred to as connection blocks or terminal strips, serve the purpose of facilitating the connection and organization of electrical conductors across diverse applications. These devices offer a practical solution for uniting multiple wires or cables securely, ensuring dependable electrical connections.

The primary role of terminal blocks is to establish a common connection point for electrical circuits. Encased in a durable insulated housing, typically composed of thermoplastic or ceramic materials, terminal blocks contain metal terminals, often crafted from brass or copper alloys. These terminals serve as interfaces for connecting wires or conductors.

An inherent advantage of terminal blocks lies in their modular design. Available in various sizes and configurations, they allow for easy customization to meet specific project requirements. Terminal blocks come in different types, including feed-through, ground, disconnect, fuse, and sensor-specific blocks, catering to a broad spectrum of applications.

The installation process of terminal blocks is straightforward. Wires are inserted into the terminal's clamping mechanism, often spring-loaded, ensuring a secure and vibration-resistant connection. This design feature simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting tasks, enabling the easy addition, removal, or rearrangement of wires when necessary.

Terminal blocks find extensive use in industries such as industrial automation, machinery, power distribution, building automation, and control systems. They offer a safe and efficient means of connecting electrical components, facilitating streamlined wiring, reducing downtime, and enhancing system reliability.

In summary, terminal blocks stand as indispensable components in electrical systems, providing a reliable and organized solution for connecting wires and cables. Their modular design, ease of installation, and versatility make them the preferred choice for professionals across various industries.

Fixed Type Screw Terminals

It can even withstand voltages up to 1.25KV and operate in temperatures between -40 degrees celsius and +115 degrees celsius. Just follow this link if you want to memorize the specifications for the 8931 Fixed Type Screw Terminal PCB Mounts. You will have a wider variety of options to choose from when it comes to 5.00mm Fixed Type Screw Terminal PCB Mounts, though. You will be able to choose between straight and r/angle type terminal blocks. Additionally, you can rest easy knowing you are obtaining a strong part since they can withstand voltage up to 1.5KV. Although, if you want first-hand knowledge about these available parts then please follow each version’s hyperlink; 8931-F075100, 8931-F076100, 8931-F090126, and 8931-F196200

Pluggable Female Type Spring Clamp System

One of Oupiin's favorite terminal blocks we want to talk about are the Pluggable Female Type Spring Clamp System connectors, specifically the 3.50mm sized version. The 8934 terminal block is made from durable thermoplastic polyester UL94V-0, as well as uses inductive copper alloy and tin plating on its female contacts. You also don't have to worry about wear and tear affecting your spring clamps since it's made from pure metal. However, the biggest benefit of using this kind of terminal block is the fact you will have a voltage rating around 160V and a current rating at 5.5A.
