Accessories (Terminals, Connectors, Connectors, Cables)
During the installation of LED products are logically faced with the need to select LED-components. To make the right choice, you need to start from what project is in hand. If you need to make a street LED lighting, you need to look for options that are protected from dust, wind, precipitation and other adverse weather conditions. It is important to study the surface, which will serve as the basis for fixing the profile, as well as to have in front of you the connection diagram itself, to represent the right number of connectors.
It should be understood that the wires are connected by terminals, usually clamp terminals. Terminal blocks are used to connect wires where the number of metal contacts exceeds two. Terminal blocks are essentially synonymous with terminal blocks, but in practice they are combined with smaller devices. Terminal blocks have been used in electrical applications for a long time. At first they were used to connect several parallel lines of power supply and to connect the lamp to the electricity, now they are replacing twisting and even soldered connections. The reason is not only cheap and environmentally friendly.
Terminals are able to reliably connect copper and aluminum conductors. The electrical contact is extremely good, even without any additional tools. Installation work due to the ease of connection takes minimum time and gives maximum results. Even solid and stranded conductors with different cross sections can be connected!
The terminals are made of corrosion-neutral polyamide. It is a material that is difficult to ignite and has self-extinguishing properties. Thus, the extreme temperature that they can withstand up to +200 ° C. -35°C is the possible limit of acceptable cold.
To obtain internal terminal clamps, manufacturers take spring-hard, electrolyte copper, it is also additionally protected against rust by means of tin and lead coating. Today, the most famous are terminal blocks by the German company WAGO.
Connectors are also used to solve the problem of connecting or disconnecting the LED strip. This contact device connects and supplies voltage, plus supervises the operation of control signals.
Using connectors is no longer a problem connecting the LED strip to the power supply, amplifier, dimmer, RGB-controller. Connectors allow you to forget about the soldering work, because why solder, if you can just connect the desired segments of the LED strips!
On the market there are many different types of connectors - there is a connecting, and connectors, there are options. The only thing that connectors are afraid of - is moisture. Therefore, they are not used in wet rooms so as not to oxidize the contacts.
When the task is to create a unified electrical circuit and bring electricity to the source of consumption electrical wires and cables are used. They are needed to get a flexible connection of elements, as well as nodes and blocks, with each other. In addition, cables and wires are used to electrically connect devices distant from each other, and the number of bends can be anything.
PVS-cable is a copper wire wrapped in a sheath of polyvinyl chloride plastic. To be not afraid of high temperatures, manufacturers add a unique compound to the shell material, saving from smoke during fires. PVS power cables are designed to work at forty-five degree temperatures, ranging from minus to plus. The load rating of such PVC wire is calculated based on the cross-sectional area. It can be either 6A or 25A.
Why do many people stop at the choice of LED components?
The answer is simple: LED components are always reliable, convenient, easy and fast. Who will refuse during the equipping of lighting from the savings in time, deliberate strength and reliability of construction! And if we take into account that installation using LED components does not require any additional skills and purchase expensive tools, the choice becomes obvious.
