Äärijohdinkytkentä

Äärijohdinkytkentä, often translated as "edge connector" or "terminal block connection," refers to a method of connecting electrical wires to a printed circuit board (PCB) or other electronic components. This type of connection utilizes a specialized connector, typically mounted on the edge of a PCB, or as a standalone component that accepts wires. The primary purpose of an äärijohdinkytkentä is to provide a secure and often removable interface for power or signal connections.

These connectors are characterized by their rows of terminals, which are designed to receive stripped wire ends. The wires are usually secured in place by screws, spring clamps, or a push-in mechanism. This allows for easy installation and maintenance, as wires can be readily connected and disconnected without soldering. Äärijohdinkytkentä is widely used in industrial equipment, control systems, power supplies, and various consumer electronics where robust and accessible wiring is required. They offer a practical solution for terminating multiple conductors in an organized and efficient manner, facilitating assembly and troubleshooting.
