Power Distribution & Energy

In power distribution, heavy-duty machinery and transportation applications, vibrations can weaken a terminal block’s clamping power and loosen wire connections. The resulting power and signal failures can lead to unwanted system downtime, fire and shock risks, or other safety issues. Fortunately, one type of terminal block design makes secure connections possible while also providing easy access for installation and maintenance. Hinge-type terminal blocks, such as the 85-A STH5 from Altech Corp., ensure secure connections and allow technicians to easily open the circuit quickly and safely.
