1. What is a terminal block?
Terminal blocks are an accessory product used to achieve electrical connections and are widely used in industries, household circuits, electronic equipment, and industrial automation. The main function of a terminal block is to facilitate the connection and disconnection of wires, avoid the trouble of welding or winding, and make electrical connections more flexible and convenient.
The structure of a terminal block usually includes a section of metal sheet sealed in insulating plastic, with holes at both ends for inserting wires, and connecting or disconnecting wires by tightening or loosening screws 1. This design makes the terminal block very practical in situations where frequent connection and disconnection are required, especially in situations where a large number of wires need to be interconnected, such as terminal blocks and terminal boxes in the power industry.
There are many types of terminal blocks, the most common of which are European series, plug-in series, transformer series, building wiring series, fence series, track series, and through-the-wall series. -
2. What role does the terminal play in the circuit?
The terminal mainly plays the following roles in the circuit:
Electrical connection: The terminal can reliably connect the wire to the circuit equipment electrically to ensure that the current is correctly transmitted. It provides a safe contact point to prevent the wire from falling off due to excessive force or external factors, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the circuit.
Convenient maintenance: The use of terminal blocks can easily repair and replace the circuit. When a device needs to be replaced or repaired, you only need to loosen the terminal block to remove the wire without changing the connection of other parts, which greatly reduces the difficulty and workload of maintenance.
Prevent contact corrosion: The terminal block is usually made of metal material with good conductivity. Through the connection of the terminal block, corrosion and oxidation at the contact point of the wire can be effectively prevented, and a good electrical connection state can be maintained.
Fixing the wire: The terminal block usually also has the function of fixing the wire. Through the loose and tight contact points, the wire is fixed to the terminal to prevent the wire from loosening or falling off due to external factors, ensuring the stability and safety of the circuit.
Improve system safety: Through the terminal block, the risk of short circuit of exposed wires can be effectively avoided, the occurrence of electrical accidents can be reduced, and the overall safety of the system can be improved.
Support multiple connection methods: The terminal block design is flexible and can support multiple types of connections, such as threaded connection, crimping, welding, etc., to adapt to different application scenarios.
The use scenarios of the terminal block include:
Distribution box and control cabinet: In the power distribution equipment and control cabinet, the terminal block is used to connect the power supply, load and various control equipment to form an electrical control circuit.
Home appliances: In home appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators, the terminal block is used to connect the power cord to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Industrial equipment: In various automation equipment, sensors and actuators, the terminal block is used to transmit signals and power to ensure precise control.
Electrical system: In the power supply system of a building, the terminal block is used to connect cables to ensure the safety and stability of the power supply.
Automotive electrical system: In a car, the terminal block is used to connect batteries, control modules, lights and other electrical equipment to ensure the normal operation of the overall electrical system.
What is a terminal socket?
A terminal socket refers to the metal contact part of a socket used to connect an electrical appliance or a power plug. These terminals are connected to the power line or other electrical equipment through wires or wires, enabling electrical energy to be transmitted to or taken from the equipment in the plug.
Composition and function of terminal sockets
Terminal sockets are usually made of conductive materials such as copper to ensure good electrical conductivity. There are usually multiple terminals on the socket, including active jacks and fixed wiring screws or clips. The jack terminal is a soft metal sheet that can be inserted and fixed to the pins of the plug, while the wiring screw or clip is used to fix the wire by tightening or clamping to ensure a stable electrical connection.
Standards and specifications for terminal sockets
Different countries and regions may have different socket terminal standards and specifications. For example, China's socket terminal standards mainly include national standards GB 2099.3 and GB 1002. GB 2099.3 standard applies to low-voltage household appliance sockets, and specifies the socket's dimensions, terminal form, rated current and voltage and other parameters. GB 1002 standard applies to fixed power sockets, and specifies the socket's installation requirements and electrical connection methods.

3. What is the difference between a terminal and a connector?
The main differences between terminals and connectors are in their definitions, scope of application, and application scenarios.
Definition
Connector: Connector is a general term, usually referring to an electrical connector, which transmits current or signals through the male and female poles to achieve electrical connection. The connector consists of two major parts: a plastic shell and a terminal. The plastic shell is plastic and plays a protective role; the terminal is metal and plays a conductive role.
Terminal: Terminals are also called "wiring terminals" and are an accessory product used to achieve electrical connections. It is usually a piece of metal sealed in insulating plastic with holes at both ends for inserting wires. Terminals are a type of connector, generally a rectangular connector.
Scope
Connector: Connector is a general term, including many types of connectors, such as rectangular connectors, circular connectors, and stepped connectors.
Terminal: The terminal is a part of the connector. Common connectors usually include two parts: the plastic shell and the terminal. The plastic shell is plastic and plays a protective role; the terminal is metal and plays a conductive role. -
4. What is the difference between a socket and a connector?
The difference between a socket and a connector is mainly reflected in the definition, purpose, form and applicable occasions.
Definition and purpose
Socket: A socket refers to a plug and socket on a wire, cable or device, which is used to transmit signals or power to an electronic device. For example, a power socket, an audio socket, a video socket, etc.
Connector: A connector refers to a component or device that connects the cables, lines or components of two or more electronic devices, and is used to transmit signals or power between two or more electronic devices. For example, USB connectors, audio connectors, video connectors, etc.
