liitäntälohko

Liitäntälohko, sometimes translated as terminal block or connector block, is a modular component used in electrical wiring to connect multiple wires together. These blocks provide a safe and organized way to terminate and join electrical conductors, preventing loose connections and simplifying installation.

The basic structure of a liitäntälohko typically consists of a plastic housing that encloses metal terminals. Wires are inserted into these terminals, and a screw or spring mechanism clamps the wire firmly in place, ensuring electrical continuity. Different types of liitäntälohko exist, varying in the number of connection points, the type of clamping mechanism, and their current and voltage ratings. Some common types include screw terminals, push-in terminals, and lever-actuated terminals.

Liitäntälohko are widely used in a variety of applications, including industrial control panels, building electrical systems, automotive wiring, and consumer electronics. They facilitate the distribution of power and signals, allow for easy modifications or troubleshooting of circuits, and improve the overall safety and reliability of electrical installations by ensuring secure and insulated connections. Their modular nature also allows for easy expansion and customization of wiring systems.
