Terminal blocks are connectors used in industrial applications to join different parts of electronic circuits. They are made of metal enclosed in plastic and have slots at both ends to insert wires. The wires can be securely fastened using screws. Terminal blocks come in various designs, some with contact pads for connecting to circuit boards, while others have their own housings for attaching to different surfaces.
In applications where you have two wires that need to connect and disconnect at times, instead of soldering or twisting them together, you can use a terminal block. It allows you to easily connect and disconnect the wires whenever needed. Terminal blocks are great for connecting multiple wires without hassle.
In the power industry, there are special terminal blocks called terminal boxes. These boxes have multiple terminals for different purposes like single or double connections, handling specific current or voltage, and even breakable connections. They ensure reliable contact and the ability to handle sufficient current flow.
