Types of IT Triconex Terminal Block
 
 
 

Screw Terminals

Screw terminals are the most used connection methods in this method wires will be inserted into terminal and clamped with the use of a screw. These terminals are commonly used in domestic as well as commercial wiring where voltage and current demands will be moderate. Over-tightening the wire while fixing can damage the inserted wire/cable which further may cause unreliable and dangerous connection.

 
 

Barrier Terminals

Barrier terminals are similar to screw terminals and use screw to hold the cables although they have more than one termination point for multiple cables and have small barriers between every terminals. Some Barrier terminals also have a small lid and an enclosure to protect the cabling. These are commonly used in domestic wiring and also in high voltage applications which requires arcing and short circuits prevention.

 
 

Push-fit terminal blocks

Small spring-loaded shafts in Push-fit terminal blocks allows cable to enter the terminal block in one direction and hold it in place without allowing it to leave. This Technology depends on a spring having enough force to keep the wire in contact with the conductive body. Disadvantage of these terminals is it’s not designed to be reused and do not have removing shaft. This makes repairing work a difficult task and sometimes whole terminal needs replacing.

 
 

Pluggable terminal blocks

Pluggable terminal blocks have a cable entry to allow the connection of a wire or cable and also a plug output which can be connected to a socket. This is very useful for connections which are expected to be removable for inspection purpose or for servicing purpose.

How to Connect a Power Supply to a Terminal Block
 
01/

Step 1: Ensure power supply is unplugged
Safety should always come first. Ensure the power supply is disconnected or unplugged from the power source before beginning. This step is critical to avoid electrical shock or short circuits.

02/

Step 2: Strip the wires
With a wire stripper, remove about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of the wire's insulation. This process will expose the bare metal conductor needed for the terminal block connection.

Be careful not to strip too much insulation off, as this can expose extra wire, leading to potential short circuits.

03/

Step 3: Identify the correct terminal block positions
On your terminal block, you'll typically find markings denoting the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. For AC power supplies, look for 'L' (live) and 'N' (neutral) indicators instead.

Just as with hook up DIN rail power supply, the instructions included with your specific unit are your best friend. Always refer to your power supply’s documentation to ensure correct wire placement.

04/

Step 4: Connect the wires to the terminal block
Insert each wire into the correct terminal block position. For a DC power supply, the red wire typically represents the positive (+) terminal, and the black wire represents the negative (-) terminal.

For AC, the live wire (often brown or red) goes to the 'L' terminal, and the neutral wire (often blue or black) goes to the 'N' terminal.

05/

Step 5: Secure the wires
If you're using a screw terminal block, tighten the screw over each wire until it's firmly held in place. For spring terminal blocks, the wire will automatically be secured upon insertion.

Remember, the connection should be firm, but be careful not to over-tighten and damage the wire.

06/

Step 6: Double-check the connection
Give each wire a gentle tug to ensure it's secure. Verify that each wire is in the correct terminal, there's no exposed wire that could potentially short, and no insulation is caught under the screw or clamp.

 

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Tips for IT Triconex Terminal Blocks
 

Regular inspections

Regularly inspect the terminal blocks for signs of wear and tear, corrosion, or loose connections.

Clean the terminal blocks

Regularly clean the terminal blocks using a soft brush and compressed air to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may have accumulated on the contacts.

Tighten connections

If you notice any loose connections, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws to the manufacturer's recommended torque value This will help to ensure a reliable and safe electrical connection.

Check for overheating

Check the terminal blocks for signs of overheating, such as discoloration or deformation Overheating can be caused by various factors, including high currents or poor contact resistance, and should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage.

Use the right size terminal blocks

Always use the correct size and type of terminal block for the application. Using undersized terminal blocks can lead to overheating, poor contact resistance, and other issues.

Troubleshoot faulty connections

If you encounter a faulty connection, troubleshoot the issue by checking the wiring for shorts, breaks, or misalignment. Use a multimeter or other diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of the problem.

 

How to Choose the Right IT Triconex Terminal Block

 

 

Current rating
The current rating is often the most important parameter to consider in terminal block designs. The current rating is based on the conductivity of the terminals, cross-sectional area, and the corresponding heat rise. Operating at too high of a current can cause overheating and damage of the terminal block, leading to major safety concerns. It is best practice to use a terminal block that is rated for at least 150% of the max current that is expected in the system.

 

Voltage rating
The voltage rating is in part determined by the dielectric strength and pitch of the terminal block housing. The maximum system voltage of the application must be less than the voltage rating. Any voltage surges in the system should also be evaluated when selecting the terminal block.

 

Pole count
The number of individual circuits within the terminal block is also known as the pole count. This can be as few as a single pole, and as high as 24 poles and beyond, based on how many individual circuits are needed in the specific application.

 

Pitch
A terminal block’s pitch is defined as the center distance from one pole to the next. The pitch of the connector is often determined by the overall rating of the terminal block where factors like voltage/current, creepage, and clearance are considered. Common industry pitches would be, but are not limited to, 2.54 mm, 3.81 mm, 5.0 mm, and 7.62 mm.

 

Wire size/type
The minimum and maximum wire size that the terminal block can accept would be a function of the voltage/current rating. In addition to making sure the wires used will physically fit into the terminal block, the type of wire should also be considered. Stranded or multi-core wire is typically used for screw terminals, and single-core is typically used for push-in style terminal blocks. In North America wire size is specified in units of American wire gauge (AWG). Wire size can also be specified as mm2.
