What is a terminal block?

terminal block is to facilitate the application of the wire connection, it is actually a period of closure in insulating plastic inside the metal sheet has holes at both ends of the wire can be inserted with screws for fastening or loosening, such as two wires, sometimes need to be connected, and sometimes you need to disconnect, then you can use the terminal block to connect them, and you can disconnect at any time, without having to weld them together or intertwined, it is quick and easy. And for a lot of wire interconnect in the power industry have a special terminal block plug, terminal box, above all terminal block, single-layer, double layer, current, voltage, common, can be broken, and so on. A crimp in order to ensure reliable contact with the area, and to ensure a sufficient current through.screw terminal block is used to achieve an electrical connection accessories products, divided into categories on the connector industry. With the increasingly high degree of industrial automation and industrial control requirements more stringent, precise, electrical terminal block dosage gradually rise. With the development of the electronics industry, terminal block the use of more and more, and more and more types. Currently the most widely used in addition to the PCB terminals, there are hardware terminals, nuts terminal, spring terminal, and so on. Historical development editor in 1928, Phoenix Electric invented the world's first one modular terminal block, which is the prototype of the modern terminal is Phoenix Electric applied for and obtained the first patent. Since then, Phoenix Electrical passion innovation, commitment to the development of various connection technologies, forming a perfect electrical interface technology systems, many of which product series has become the industry standard application. To 2012, CLIPLINE product range has more than 3000 kinds, widely used in various industrial control cabinets and electrical connection cabinet occasion.
