DIN Rail Terminal Blocks and Accessories

What are Terminal Blocks?

A terminal block, or terminal strip is an electrical connector that facilitates the connection between more than one circuit to another circuit. Multiple connectivity is enabled by a series of metallic contact strips which allow for power distribution across different components. Terminal blocks are available in many types including, barrier strips, fused terminal blocks, DIN rail terminals and many more.

Terminal blocks are used to terminate wires and arrange them in a long strip to connect the wiring to an electrical supply. Terminal blocks are a very flexible electrical connector utilised in a vast range of applications in many sectors such as electronics, automotive, railway and process engineering industries and so on.
