Many people are unfamiliar with the wiring terminal. Although we may use and see it, we are not sure what it is and what effect it has. Next, let's take a look at the effect of the terminal and how to select the terminal.
1、 Effect of terminal blocks
The terminal block is a piece of metal enclosed in an insulating plastic. There are holes at both ends to pierce the wires. It is mainly used for the interconnection of many wires. If the wires need to be connected or disconnected sometimes, they can be connected with terminals and disconnected or connected at any time.
2、 How to choose the terminal
At present, there are many manufacturers of wiring terminals, some of which are good, of course, some are fishing in troubled waters. In addition to considering their brands and prices, the selection of professional and reliable wiring terminals should also consider the following aspects:
1. From the aspect of appearance
At present, most of the terminal blocks produced are subject to sampling test, and good terminal blocks should have good workmanship, i.e. flat surface, no scratch, no burr at edges and corners, and uniform wall thickness; More importantly, the fitting degree of the plug and the needle base is high, and there is no phenomenon of too high or too low insertion force.
2. In terms of raw materials
Generally speaking, raw materials can be divided into two parts:
First, plastic parts should have good flame retardancy, that is, UL94V-0 flame retardant grade; The simple test method here is to ignite with an open fire. If the plastic part is separated from the open fire and subsides, it means that the terminal has a good flame-retardant function;
The second is the wire pressing frame. Many customers often say whether the terminal is copper or not, and what we mean here is the wire pressing frame. Generally speaking, the copper frame has a clearer texture than the iron frame.
3. Personal test
The reason for the poor contact of some terminals in the market is that the screw torque can not meet the requirements, so the screw torque of the terminals is particularly important, so it should be tested personally.
