IDEC Terminal Blocks
Terminal blocks from IDEC are reliable, versatile, and precise, making them ideal for use in electrical and control system wiring. The blocks are easy to install and maintain, allowing for quick and certain access to electrical connections serving industrial panels, machinery, and automation systems. They come in the compact surface mount and DIN rail mount formats, designers’ and installers’ choices for the best fit in specific panel applications.
The terminal blocks encompass a variety of configurations, which serve an equally varied set of applications and current ratings. The robust screw design, for instance, guarantees a secure, no-fail connection up to the rated current. IDEC uses unique "touch down" terminal in certain models that provides additional stability when the connected system is subject to vibration or other mechanical stresses.
Certain IDEC terminal block models have an optional blown fuse indication. Models with the blown fuse option come with a trim plate that expands the panel designer's appearance possibilities as well. IDEC terminal blocks are extensively tested to ensure performance and to guarantee practical effectiveness. They are laid out in a number of configurations and many types; those types add to the range of looks and styles of the products. All blocks are durable and long-lasting.
FAQs
What types of IDEC terminal blocks are there?
IDEC’s selection of terminal blocks includes DIN‑rail mounted and surface‑mount types . There's single level or multi level and fuse blocks available, plus some models that have an optional blown fuse indicator for faster circuit checks.
What's special about IDEC’s BN Series terminal blocks?
The BN Series is a top IDEC line, it’s tough, easy to install and small. It has screw‑clamp and unique touch‑down terminals, therefore your connection stays firm even when vibration shakes it up.
What are IDEC touch down terminals?
Touch down terminals on certain IDEC models let you snap a wire in fast and lock it tight, so you skip the hassle of pulling out special tools. Because of this design install time drops, and the connection stays solid even while vibrating.
Can IDEC terminal blocks be used with ferrules or ring terminals?
Yes. They are compatible with ferrules and ring terminals, depending on the model. This ensures flexibility during wiring and helps keep strong connections.
Does IDEC have fuse terminal blocks?
IDEC offers fuse blocks that include optional blown fuse indication, allowing operators to identify open circuits instantly.
Terminal Blocks: The Top 5 Things You Must Know
Is there a plan in place?
Make sure to have a proper plan in place for a specific application. With such a wide variety of terminal blocks available, it is important to use the correct types for various circuits. If the wrong types of terminal blocks are used, it could cause many issues, including possibly being very dangerous.
Is a disconnect necessary?
The most basic types of terminal blocks, simply act as a junction point. This allows current to pass through with nothing to stop it. However, if there is a need to stop current from flowing, some kind of disconnect will be required. There are a variety of different types of terminal blocks that have manual disconnects that can be used for this very purpose.
What about protection?
In many cases, devices connected to terminal blocks need protection. Terminal blocks that have a place for a fuses to be connected would be the ideal choice.
Is space limited?
In situations where there is very little room to accommodate the amount of IO that is need for a specific scenario, multi-level terminal blocks can wire multiple points or circuits in much less space than using single level terminal blocks.
Is grounding necessary?
When doing any kind of electrical wiring, proper grounding is essential to make sure all components in that circuit function properly. There are several different styles of grounding terminal blocks to meet different scenarios.
