- **Caution**: 

### Q: What are the key advantages of using terminal blocks in electrical equipment manufacturing?
**A**: Terminal blocks provide organized, secure wire connections that simplify installation and maintenance, enable modular wiring, ensure reliable electrical contact, and improve safety by preventing loose connections in control panels and PLC systems.

### Q: How do I select the right terminal block for high-current industrial applications?
**A**: Consider current rating (typically 10-300A), wire gauge compatibility, material conductivity (copper alloy recommended), insulation type (thermoplastic for durability), clamping mechanism reliability, and environmental factors like temperature and vibration resistance.

### Q: What maintenance is required for terminal blocks in control panels?
**A**: Regular inspection for loose connections, checking for corrosion or overheating signs, verifying proper torque on clamping screws, ensuring marking strips remain legible, and periodic cleaning to prevent dust accumulation that could affect insulation.
