Terminal Plugs

Terminal blocks are insulated, modular blocks that secure two or more wires together. They are the perfect solution for complicated control circuits that require secure, well-organized and semi-permanent wire connections that can easily be switched out for repair or inspection in the field. Within a control board, terminal blocks are snapped firmly into place on a mounting or DIN rail. When modifications to the circuit are performed, they can easily be added or removed from the rail without interfering with other wire connections.

Pluggable terminal blocks have a standard terminal block connection on one side and a plug connection on the other side. This design is useful for applications requiring multiple wires to be connected and disconnected at the same time, such as when connecting to a control device. It also provides a system with complete modularity to ensure ease of installation, testing and maintenance. Pluggable terminal blocks eliminate the need for unscrewing wires to disrupt the electrical flow. The receptacle for the pluggable terminal block can be soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB), which creates a header for the plug side of the terminal block to plug into. This kind of connection is ideal for maintenance heavy applications, testing equipment and any other electrical applications that require some flexibility when it comes to the wiring system.
