Distribution Terminal Blocks
Distribution terminal blocks are specifically designed to handle the heavy current that is often seen in power distribution systems without causing overheating or damage to the internal wire or the insulation. They have robust design features and are made from high-quality materials to ensure long service life. Most are made of either brass or a very high-grade aluminum alloy. The most recent ones also have tin-plated parts to ensure electrical conductivity is maintained and to provide corrosion resistance. These terminal blocks are typically used with large wire sizes anywhere in a power distribution system when lots of current is involved.
One effective strategy used with power distribution terminal blocks is to apply color to the wires. By using various shades and hues, the wire assemblies become easier to distinguish visually. Furthermore, labeling is done both on the top side of the power distribution block and the wire side. This identification is done for each wire assembly that might enter the power blocks or any of its communication wings.
Distribution terminal blocks are a common sight in industrial and commercial applications. They connect and distribute electrical power to the myriad of devices and subsystems that make up such environments. For significant amperage, you'll mostly see finger-safe power distribution blocks that are rated for the necessary amount of current and voltage. There are also many compact and pluggable terminal block solutions for power distribution applications.
