Plug & Socket Terminal Blocks are pluggable connectors designed for quick, secure, and modular wiring. Featuring a male plug and female socket interface, they allow easy connection and disconnection without disturbing the wiring. Ideal for control panels, automation systems, and equipment requiring frequent maintenance, these terminal blocks ensure reliable performance, space savings, and simplified installation.
Description
Plug & Socket Terminal Blocks are modular connectors designed for quick and secure wire-to-wire or wire-to-board connections. Featuring a male plug and female socket interface, they allow easy installation, removal, and maintenance without disturbing the wiring. These terminal blocks are widely used in control panels, automation systems, and equipment where frequent disconnection and reconnection are required.
