Terminal blocks are modular, insulated devices designed to secure and organize multiple wires in an electrical circuit. Typically mounted on a DIN rail or panel, they offer excellent durability, insulation, and flexibility. Common applications include industrial automation, control systems, and complex wiring setups.
Terminal strips, also known as chocolate blocks, are simpler connection devices featuring a series of metal screw terminals housed in a plastic or ceramic casing. They are often used for basic wire-to-wire connections in household or low-power applications.
| Feature | Terminal Block | Terminal Strip |
| Application | Industrial and complex wiring | Household and basic wiring |
| Durability | High, withstands harsh conditions | Moderate, less durable |
| Insulation | High-quality housing | Basic plastic or ceramic |
| Cost | Higher initial investment | Budget-friendly |
| Flexibility | Highly modular | Limited |
The decision between terminal blocks and terminal strips depends on your project’s complexity and requirements. For industrial, high-voltage, or customizable applications, terminal blocks are ideal. For simple, low-power wiring, terminal strips offer a cost-effective solution.
