What Is a Terminal Strip?
A terminal strip is a crucial electrical component for connecting wires in a circuit.
This device includes a series of metal terminals mounted on an insulating board. Wires are inserted into terminal holes and clamped down with screws, facilitating a stable electrical connection by allowing current to flow through the interconnected metal terminals. The screw mechanism not only ensures wires are securely fastened but also minimizes electrical resistance for efficient current distribution.
Terminal strips find extensive application across electrical systems, electronics, automotive, and industrial machinery. Available in various designs like screw-type, spring-type, and push-in type, their selection is based on the wiring needs and the electrical current requirements of the project.
