Jaotusterminalid

Jaotusterminalid are a type of electrical terminal block used in electrical installations to provide connection points for distributing electrical circuits. They are commonly found in control panels, switchboards and distribution boards, where multiple conductors must be neatly routed and reliably connected. A jaotusterminal typically consists of a conductive clamping element and an insulating housing. Conductors are secured using a screw, spring or push-in mechanism, depending on the model. Many jaotusterminalid are mounted on a DIN rail for compact arrangement in cabinets, while some are panel-mounted or PCB-mounted for more compact designs. They often feature labeling spaces or color-coded terminals to help identify circuits and avoid misconnection.

Types of jaotusterminalid include screw-terminal blocks, spring-terminal blocks, and push-in terminal blocks. They vary in current rating, voltage rating, and the range of conductor cross-sections they accept. They may include protective covers, isolation barriers, and test ports. In practice they serve to organize wiring, allow easy circuit modification, and provide safe, removable connections for servicing. They are used in residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations, as well as in machinery control systems.

Safety and compliance: jaotusterminalid are designed to meet region-specific electrical safety standards and installation requirements. They should be selected according to the installation’s current and voltage, conductor cross-section, ambient temperature, and whether DIN-rail mounting is used. Proper torque for screws and ensuring correct polarity are essential for reliable operation.
