The use of terminal blocks is one of the easiest possible solutions to establish a connection between the device and its environment. They are commonly applied in electrical equipment, both industrial and everyday use. In most cases, the use of terminal blocks does not require any special equipment. All you need to do is to strip a few millimeters of the cable insulation, insert the cable into the terminal, tighten the screw with a screwdriver or press/release the spring clamp. For convenience and reliability, an optional metal sleeve can be crimped at the end of the cable.
Screw terminal blocks are fitted in most industrial automation devices, such as PLCs, power supplies, inverters, lighting lamps and others. These terminal blocks have different dimensions, depending on the parameters of the conducted voltage/current and thus the cross-section of the wires and their insulation thickness. They facilitate not only the application of the device or module, but also its replacement, if necessary.
Some terminal blocks are not equipped with clamping screws, but a kind of spring which is pressed automatically or by means of a lockable lever. They can also be equipped with a type of blade that cuts through the insulation into the wire, so it is not necessary to strip the insulation before the connection is made. A contact point sealing gel may also be placed inside the terminal block body.
Terminal blocks are available in variants that are suitable for mounting on a cable or for soldering to a printed circuit board. They can also consist of two parts – one for mounting on the cable (e.g. socket) and the other (e.g. plug) for soldering to a PCB, fixing on a device panel, etc.
