Selection and application of terminal posts

What are binding posts? The working principle and purpose of terminal posts.
Binding posts can be regarded as a typical wiring tool, their main function is to connect wires of different uses, specifications and materials. Because wires need to be split, continued, and transferred, binding posts are indispensable.
A binding post is a type of terminal used to connect electrical wires. Usually made of insulating materials such as plastic and ceramic, it contains metal screws or springs inside to clamp the wires. It connects different wires to each other and provides convenient wiring.

In addition to being used in household circuits, binding posts are also widely used in electrical equipment in various fields, such as mechanical equipment, electronic equipment, lighting equipment, etc.

Selection and application of terminal posts

Working principle of terminal posts
The terminal clamps the wires through metal screws or spring pieces, allowing the current to be transmitted from one wire to another through the terminal, and in the process solves the problems of shunting, continuation, and transfer of the circuit.When installing and using binding posts, first make sure the power is turned off, then insert the wires to be connected into the corresponding binding post holes, and finally tighten the screws to clamp the wires.

3. terminal posts application
As a widely used electrical component, terminals have different applications in different fields:
3.1 Home circuit
In household circuit installation and maintenance, terminal posts are often used for shunting, grounding, connecting wires of different specifications, etc. For example, connect multiple lamps and sockets to the main line with binding posts.

3.2 Mechanical equipment
In mechanical equipment, binding posts are often used to connect motors to switches or sensors to controllers.

3.3 Electronic equipment
In electronic equipment, binding posts are used to connect wires between circuit boards, or to connect external signal lines and power lines, etc.

3.4 Lighting equipment
In lighting equipment, binding posts are used to connect wires between the inside and outside of the lamp to achieve power distribution, installation and debugging.

Terminal Posts type specifications:
Or it refers to the posts on ammeters, voltmeters, resistance meters, batteries, etc. used to connect wires.
The DC ammeter has three binding posts.
For example: there are two types of terminals: “+” and “-“, (+,-0.6A,-3A) or (-,0.6A,3A)
