4721 Series, Terminal Strips and Turret Boards

Terminal strip and turret board family comprises interconnect products that consist of an array of solderable terminals or terminal posts mounted on a sheet of insulating material. These interconnect products are commonly used as a junction point between the internal components of a device or system and the external wiring connected to it during installation. The solderable terminals provide a secure and reliable connection for the wires or cables, which can be easily soldered to the terminal posts. The insulating material separating each terminal ensures that there is no short-circuiting between adjacent terminals. Terminal strips and turret boards are often used in older equipment where the use of soldered connections is prevalent. While relatively simple and inexpensive to produce, terminal strips and turret boards are generally less preferred in modern applications due to the emergence of more advanced and efficient interconnect products. Solderless terminal blocks, for instance, have become more prevalent in recent years due to their ease of use, flexibility, and ability to accommodate a wider range of wire sizes. Despite their declining popularity, however, terminal strips and turret boards remain relevant in certain niche applications and continue to be produced by manufacturers. They offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for electronics designers and installers who require a simple and secure method for connecting wires and cables in their systems. In summary, the terminal strip and turret board family provides a cost-effective solution for creating secure connections between internal components and external wiring in electronic systems. These interconnect products consist of solderable terminals or terminal posts mounted on a sheet of insulating material and are commonly used in older equipment. While less popular in modern applications, they remain relevant in certain niche applications where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
