    Touch-Safe Terminal Blocks

    Style A

    These terminal blocks protect you from shocks and prevent short circuits. The terminals are recessed in the block, so you can't accidentally touch them when installing or adjusting your wire.
    Screw-Clamp-Terminal Wire Connection—The clamp flattens the wire to resist pullout and vibration better than screw terminals. For an even stronger and more conductive connection, crimp a terminal or wire ferrule onto the end of the wire.

    Touch-Safe Plug-and-Socket Terminal Blocks

    These terminal blocks cut power when you pull the plug while protecting you from shocks. The terminals are recessed, so you can't accidentally touch them when installing or adjusting wire. You can wire the plug away from the block, then attach it to the socket you've already installed. Blocks can be cut into smaller sections. You'll need one plug and one socket for a complete terminal block.
    You can screw down your stripped wire directly or attach a terminal to prevent damage from the screw. Ring, spade, and hook terminals fit around the screw and hang on tightly, even in high-vibration setups. Pin terminals, blade terminals, and wire ferrules are easier to fit into the block, but they don't stay put as well as other terminals when vibrated or pulled.

    Plug

    Socket

    Cut power with the pull of a plug when you need to swap out equipment or adjust your circuit. You can wire the plug away from the terminal block, then pop it into the socket you've already installed. Pins on the bottom of these blocks are spaced to match the layout of circuit boards. Solder them onto your board for a secure hold. You'll need one plug and one socket for a complete terminal block.
    The screw-clamp terminals flatten your wire so it stays put when vibrated or pulled. For an even stronger and more conductive connection, crimp a terminal or wire ferrule onto the end of the wire.

    Streamline wiring on small or crowded circuit boards. These terminal blocks connect the same number of circuits as larger blocks in about half the space. Pins on the bottom are spaced to match the layout of circuit boards. Solder them onto your board for a secure hold.
    The screw-clamp terminals flatten your wire so it stays put when vibrated or pulled. For an even stronger and more conductive connection, crimp a terminal or wire ferrule onto the end of the wire.
