INSULATION

End Plate
End plates must be utilized to cover and electrically insulate the open portion of a terminal block in applications where it is not adjacent to another block. Normally, end plates are used as the final element (with the end stop) in a rail mount assembly; or at any place in the assembly when two blocks of different sizes are adjacent. Plates are provided in a variety of sizes and configurations, tailored to the block to be protected.

Partition Plates
Partition plates provide visual separation between groups of blocks in an assembly, and often function as a guide in identifying block functions and wiring the assembly.

Separator Plates
The Separator Plate provides electrical insulation between adjoining bus bars, and is only used in applications where bus bars are installed in adjacent terminal blocks. The plate eliminates the possibility of shorting between bus bars. See links above for specific recommendations.

Protective Cover
Transparent safety covers snap over the tops of terminal blocks and provide additional insulation protection. Covers are available for stud mount and bus bar blocks, in two or three-position sizes, or in lengths of 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 meters, to be cut to size.
