Ter­mi­nal blocks

One of the simp­lest com­pon­ents of an elec­tri­cal cir­cuit are the ter­mi­nal blocks. They’ve just got two simp­le func­tions: first­ly, lin­king up the ter­mi­nal blocks’ wires to make them con­duc­ti­ve, and second­ly, hol­ding the wire ends in place. To ful­fil the­se func­tions pro­per­ly in the long time, though, an array of phy­si­cal aspects need to be taken into con­side­ra­ti­on. Many of the­se are misun­ders­tood. All ter­mi­nal blocks have the same essen­ti­al com­pon­ents. The wire ends to be con­nec­ted are pushed onto the con­nec­ting bridge but remain detachable.
