Weidmuller Specialty Terminal Blocks
Weidmüller makes specialty terminal blocks for control cabinets. These are not your run-of-the-mill terminal blocks; they are engineered for high performance that you can rely on in demanding industrial and automation settings. These terminal blocks are built with some very advanced connection technology. They remain stable and secure across the circuit, even when a system is operating under duress. And in terms of basic wiring, they are extremely versatile. Feasible options for direct connection abound: you can go with flexible wires, and you can use them with or without end ferrules.
Weidmüller terminal blocks have tension clamp technology which permits the kind of grip along the length of the wire that facilitates distribution without circuit failure. And the tension clamp isn’t the only innovative mechanism on display here: when you connect these blocks together, they will audibly click into place in a way that should make you feel good about the kind of connection you've just made.
More Information about Weidmüller Terminal Blocks
Weidmüller's specialty terminal blocks include multi-level terminal blocks, feed-through terminal blocks and modular terminal blocks. Each performs excellently, and there's an engineering reason for that. Each block is professionally designed and precisely built for specific applications within the panel building sector, process automation, and machinery control. The terminal blocks serve as the essential connection within control panels, distributing power and signals to a wide array of devices.
FAQs
Do Weidmuller terminal blocks need wire end ferrules to get a secure connection point at the wire entry?
No, Weidmüller terminal blocks do not require wire end ferrules to achieve a secure connection point, as their advanced tension clamp and push-in technologies provide reliable, tight connections for both ferruled and unferruled wire entries. This provides relief in planning and maximum safety in operation.
Are Weidmuller terminal blocks designed for DIN rail mounting?
Yes, Weidmüller terminal blocks are designed for easy DIN rail mounting, allowing quick installation, secure positioning, and flexible configuration in control panels and industrial enclosures.
Do Weidmuller terminal blocks have an innovative snap technology in their product range?
Yes, Weidmüller terminal blocks feature innovative snap technology in their product range, enabling quick, tool-free mounting and secure locking onto DIN rails for efficient installation and maintenance.
Do Weidmuller terminal blocks have a rated cross section for their conductors?
Yes, Weidmüller terminal blocks have a rated cross section for their conductors, typically ranging from 0.14 mm² to 240 mm², depending on the terminal block type and application.
Do Weidmuller terminal blocks accommodate automated wiring?
Yes, Weidmüller terminal blocks are designed to accommodate automated wiring systems, supporting efficient, consistent, and high-speed wire insertion processes in modern industrial production environments.
Terminal Block Basics
Single Level Pass Through Terminal Blocks are used to connect two wires together with a common junction point. This is helpful when a component needs to be disconnected or isolated within a circuit. These are the most common types of terminal blocks in industrial applications.
Ground Terminal Blocks function almost exactly like most pass through terminal blocks with one exception: they are grounded. These terminal blocks have a metal connection from where the wire is terminated, all the way to the bottom of the block where it will clamp into the panel. This allows for an electrical circuit to be grounded without running a wire to the main ground connection on a breaker or surge protector.
Fused Terminal Blocks function almost exactly like most pass through terminal blocks with one exception: the presence of a fuse. This fuse provides protection for components from too much voltage or current.
Multilevel Terminal Blocks are used to connect two wires together with a common junction point, just like single pass though terminal blocks, but with the advantage of making two electrical connections in the same block. These blocks also incorporate fuses and can be grounded.
Disconnect Terminal Blocks are similar to fused blocks, however the disconnect stops the flow of electricity by lifting a lever on the terminal block. Unlike fuse blocks, they are a more permanent solution, but will not provide any protection in the event of a power surge.
