PE-151 29 PIN TERM BLOCK

Pins are used to hold together assemblies to fasten two or more common components to each other and serving as hinges, axles, aligners and pivots with stops that maintain a positive limit upon the movement of components within machinery and mechanical components.

A screw terminal is a type of electrical connector where a wire is held by the tightening of a screw.  The wire may be wrapped directly under the head of a screw, may be held by a metal plate forced against the wire by a screw, or may be held by what is, in effect, a set screw in the side of a metal tube. The wire may be directly stripped of insulation and inserted under the head of a screw or into the terminal. Otherwise, it may be either inserted first into a ferrule, which is then inserted into the terminal, or else attached to a connecting lug. which is then fixed under the screw head. The terminals easily can be re-used in the field, allowing for the replacement of wires or equipment, generally with standard hand tools. Screw terminals usually avoid the requirement for a specialized mating connector to be applied to the ends of wires.
