DIN Rail Terminal Blocks
DIN Rail terminal blocks are used to protect electrical systems against overcurrent and short-circuiting. They clip on to a DIN Rail, which is a standard-size metal rail on to which terminals are mounted in a control cabinet. You can find out more in our complete guide to DIN rail terminal blocks.
How do DIN Rail Terminal Blocks Work?
DIN rail terminal blocks, also known as DIN rail connectors or DIN rail terminal block connectors, simplify wiring and organisation in control panels. These modular connectors consist of insulating plastic housings with conductive metal strips inside, providing secure connection points for wires. They easily snap onto a standardised metal rail called a DIN rail, enabling efficient and space-saving installation. Wires are secured using screws, clamps, or spring mechanisms, creating a continuous electrical circuit for seamless signal and power flow.
DIN rail terminals come in various types, including screw, spring-loaded, and push-in terminals, catering to different connection preferences. Fused DIN rail terminals offer added protection against overcurrent and short circuits with easily replaceable fuses and optional LED indicators. DIN rail power distribution blocks are also available, designed for efficient and safe power distribution within enclosures. These blocks often feature higher current ratings and additional safety features to meet the demands of power distribution applications.
