The features of the terminal block box
I. What is a terminal block box?
A terminal block box, also known as a junction box or distribution box, is a closed or semi-closed enclosure that contains terminal blocks (usually in the form of screw-type, spring-type or peel-free type). Its core function is to provide a centralized connection, distribution, transfer and protection point for multiple wires.
It is usually made of high insulation, high-temperature resistant, flame-retardant and sturdy materials (such as engineering plastics PA66, PC, or metals like stainless steel, galvanized steel plates) to ensure safe and stable operation in various environments.
II. Core Functions and Value of the Terminal Box
Centralized connection and distribution: Connect the wires from different directions and different devices at a single point, achieving circuit convergence, branching, and redirection, making the wiring clear and tidy.
Simplified installation and maintenance: Avoiding direct twisting and gluing of wires (such as twisting + adhesive tape), it significantly improves the wiring efficiency. When maintenance or line modification is needed, simply open the box cover and operate the internal terminals. There is no need to damage the overall wiring, making maintenance extremely convenient.
Safety protection: The outer shell can effectively prevent the exposed connection points of the wires, avoiding the risks of short circuits and leakage caused by accidental contact, dust, moisture, oil contamination, and chemical corrosion, providing a crucial electrical safety barrier.
Signal and power isolation: In some complex systems, terminal boxes can separate the high-voltage (power supply) and low-voltage (control signals, data signals) circuits into different compartments or use different types of terminals to prevent mutual interference.
Improving system reliability: Use high-quality terminals for connections, with low and stable contact resistance, which is much better than manual twisting. This can reduce heat generation and fault points, thereby enhancing the long-term reliability of the entire electrical system.
