Terminal blocks are accessories used to achieve electrical connections, and are industrially classified as connectors. With increasing industrial automation and more stringent and precise industrial control requirements, the use of terminal blocks is gradually rising. With the development of the electronics industry, the application range of terminal blocks is expanding, and the types are also increasing. Besides PCB board terminals, the most widely used are metal terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, and so on.
In 1928, Phoenix Contact invented the world's first modular terminal block, which was the prototype of the modern terminal block and Phoenix Contact's first patent application. Since then, Phoenix Contact has been passionately innovating and dedicated to the development of various connection technologies, forming a complete electrical interface technology system, many of which have become industry application standards.
