PCB Terminal Blocks Provide Valuable Electronic Interconnections
Oct. 14, 2022
Designing PCBs with terminal blocks requires an understanding of the types of terminal blocks available, the best way for them to be packaged for delivery, and how to solder them to reduce the potential for failure.
Like the selection of any component, understanding what’s available, how the product is packaged and delivered (depending on your manufacturing process) and how the product is installed, are all important decisions. This is especially true for PCB terminal blocks. The more engineers know about the whole process and the needs of the user, the better decision they can make on product type from the very beginning.
Stricter guidelines imposed by version 3 of the IEC standard for harmonic current emissions push designers to embrace power-factor-correction methodologies.
