What Is a Terminal Block?
Terminal blocks are components used to connect electrical wires within circuits or machinery safely and securely.
They facilitate the physical and electrical connection of wires, offering features for easy wire attachment and removal for maintenance. Available in screw, spring, and push-in formats, each design offers different advantages. Screw connectors use screws to clamp wires, whereas spring and push-in connectors provide tool-free wire insertion.
These connectors find applications across various fields including industrial machinery, building electrical systems, and automobiles, with selection criteria focusing on durability and safety for high-power or exposed environments.
