Wire Connectors (Terminals, Lever Nuts)

Terminal Block Connectors

Terminal blocks are a type of connector used in wiring systems. They are commonly used in industrial control systems and other applications that require secure, reliable connections. A very common type is called a screw terminal, where a wire ending has an attachment that allows it to be fixed to the printed circuit board by screwing it down with a screwdriver.

Multiple individual connections will usually be separated by a nonconductive barrier. These are called barrier strips. If there are no separating elements, the setup is called a terminal strip. The first is used for connecting most wires and transmitting data, while the second is used mostly for power distribution. Barrier strips are more common in lower power applications, such as 5 volts direct current used in most microelectronics, while terminal strips are often used for 120-240 volts alternating current power transmission.
