A terminal block is one method of
connecting a selection of different
electrical wires. They come in a variety
of shapes and sizes so you can normally
find one that will be compatible with
whatever project you are carrying out.
However, the difference between blocks
can lead to problems if an incorrect type
is used or if it is not connected properly.
Terminal blocks are widely used in
some major industries where wiring
between equipment’s widely used.
Major application and industries widely
adopted TBs are Industrial Controls,
HVAC equipment and controls,
building automation, Communications
equipment, Test and Measurement, Fire
& Security, Lightning.
Use of TBs for connection simplifies wire
termination and removal from contacts.
Allows easy and cost-effective servicing
of PCB or Wire-termination corrections
Prevents over-insertion of wire,
compact design allows for flexibility to
meet unique design requirements.
Offering a wide variety of industry
standardoptionsprovidesmanufacturing
and installation personnel new freedom
in product design while maintaining
intuitive operation and a lower installed
cost. Selection of models for PCB
mounting, DIN Rail support, color
selection, different connection method
(screw, fast connection) , labeling
option , support of popular wire gages
based on application help user to find
the proper solution.
Typical terminal Block connectors
feature various wire termination
methods including rising cage clamp,
wire protector, spring, IDC and crimp
snap. The design of Terminal Block
connectors consists of one-piece board
mount terminal blocks and two-piece
plug connectors with mating straight
and right-angle shrouded headers. A
special version - which can be mated
either 90° or 180° - completes the
product line. Board mount connectors,
as well as pc board plugs and headers,
are stackable end-to-end without loss
of centerline spacing.
New Terminal Block
Implementation LED Light
Several vendors introduce lately
solutions for the booming LED
lightening industry. New PCB connector
adapters SMT usually, enable the quick,
easy, and secure connection of flexible
LED PCBs when combined with series
of connectors. The PCB adapters can
be used as an extension, as a corner
connection, or as a T-distributor. The
white PCB adapters are designed for 2-
and 4-position applications with 8- or
10-mm-wide LED strips. UL-approved
materials ensure that they can be
safely used in applications requiring
UL approval. Features and benefits
of the newly solution supporting LED
strips are :Tool-free termination saves
time and cost while reducing errors,
High-current capacity enables long
LED strips to be connected without an
