It is also known as "Combicon", which might be a Phoenix brand name; or more generically as a "pluggable terminal block" or a "two piece terminal block". [2] [3] The Euroblock is a solderless connector that uses screw terminals to clamp connecting wires. Once the wires are installed, the entire assembly is plugged into a matching socket in the ...
Terminal blocks (also called terminal boards or strips) provide a convenient means of connecting individual electrical wires without a splice or physically joining the ends. Since terminal blocks are readily available for a wide range of wire sizes and terminal quantity, they are one of the most flexible types of electrical connector available.
2.50 mm JST-XH top-entry (vertical) male PCB connectors. JST connectors are electrical connectors manufactured to the design standards originally developed by J.S.T. Mfg. Co. (Japan Solderless Terminal). [1] JST manufactures numerous series (families) and pitches (pin-to-pin distance) of connectors. [2] [3]
However, Rob Pike's paper on the Blit explains that it was named after the second syllable of bit blit, a common name for the bit-block transfer operation that is fundamental to the terminal's graphics. [2] Its original nickname was Jerq, inspired by a joke used during a demo of a Three Rivers' PERQ graphic workstation and used with permission. [3]
The terminal system consists of tabs (male) and receptacles (female). There are free-hanging wire and circuit board mounted versions of both tabs and receptacles. All widths come mostly in one of two tab thicknesses: 0.032 and 0.020 in (0.8 and 0.5 mm). A hand tool exists for inserting the terminals: the AMP Universal Handle. [citation needed]
The use of screw terminal "chocolate blocks" in building wiring installations has sharply declined in favour of crimp, push, and twist type connectors which are and easier to fit, and less vulnerable to working loose. In the UK, chocolate blocks are no longer approved for connections that are not accessible for inspection (such as under floors).
A split-50 M-type 66 block with bridging clips attached. A 66 block is a type of punch-down block used to connect sets of wires in a telephone system. They have been manufactured in four common configurations, A, B, E and M. [a] A and B styles have the clip rows on 0.25" centers while E and M have the clip rows on 0.20" centers.
A 110 punch block. A 110 block is a type of punch-down block used to terminate runs of on-premises wiring in a structured cabling system. The designation 110 is also used to describe a type of insulation displacement contact (IDC) connector used to terminate twisted pair cables, [1] which uses a punch-down tool similar to the type used for the older 66 block.
