German ATOS plug ATOS model ATOS price

ATOS plugs are accessory products used to achieve electrical connections and are classified industrially as connectors. As industrial automation levels rise and industrial control requirements become stricter and more precise, the consumption of terminal blocks is gradually increasing. With the development of the electronics industry, the scope of use for terminal blocks is expanding, and their varieties are becoming more numerous. Besides PCB board terminals, the most widely used types include hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, and so on. Terminal blocks are applied to facilitate wire connections; they are essentially a metal strip enclosed in insulating plastic, with holes at both ends for inserting wires and screws for tightening or loosening. For example, two wires may sometimes need to be connected and sometimes disconnected; in such cases, terminals can be used to connect them, allowing for disconnection at any time without the need for welding or twisting them together, which is very convenient and quick. Moreover, they are suitable for interconnecting large numbers of wires. In the power industry, there are dedicated terminal strips and terminal boxes filled with terminal blocks, including single-layer, double-layer, current, voltage, standard, and disconnectable types. A certain crimping area is required to ensure reliable contact and to guarantee that sufficient current can pass through.

ATOS plug classification

Terminal blocks can be categorized into European-style terminal block series, pluggable terminal block series, transformer terminal blocks, building wiring terminals, barrier-type terminal block series, spring-type terminal block series, DIN rail-mounted terminal block series, wall-through terminal block series, and optocoupler terminal blocks. Pluggable types consist of two parts that connect via plugging: one part clamps the wire and then plugs into the other part, which is soldered onto the PCB board. Based on the mechanical principle at the bottom, this anti-vibration design ensures long-term airtight connection and product reliability. Assembly ears can be added to both ends of the socket; these ears largely protect the contacts and prevent poor alignment of the contacts. Meanwhile, this socket design ensures that the socket can be correctly inserted into the housing. Sockets can also feature assembly clips and locking clips. Assembly clips provide more secure fixation to the PCB board, while locking clips can lock the housing and socket after installation. Various socket designs can accommodate different insertion methods for housings, such as horizontal, vertical, or angled orientation relative to the printed circuit board, allowing selection based on customer requirements. Both metric and standard wire gauges can be chosen, making this the best-selling terminal type on the market. Barrier-type terminals enable safe, reliable, and effective connections, especially widely used in high-current and high-voltage environments. Spring-type terminals are a new type of terminal block utilizing spring devices, widely applied in the global electrical and electronic engineering industries: lighting, elevator control, instruments, power supplies, chemical, and automotive power, among others. DIN rail mounting adopts reliable screw connection technology, electronic fuse technology, and the latest electrical connection technology, widely used in power electronics, communications, electrical control, and power supply fields. DIN rail-mounted types adopt wire clamping and unique self-locking screw designs, making wire connections reliable and safe. This series of terminal blocks features an aesthetically pleasing appearance and can be equipped with various accessories, such as short-circuit links, marking strips, and partitions. Wall-through types adopt screw connection technology, with insulation material made of PA66 (flame retardancy rating: UL94, V-0), and connectors made of high-quality, highly conductive metal materials.

ATOS plug features

By utilizing existing DIN rail-mounted terminal block frame screw connection technology and adding circuits composed of electronic components, optical transmission coupling is achieved. The core of automatic control requires that the control unit be reliably isolated from various sensors and actuators to avoid interference. Sanmenwan WUKG2 opto-isolation terminals can effectively perform this function, ensuring that field signals match the low voltage required by electronic control devices. They can also serve as interface components between peripheral equipment for process control and control, signal, and regulator devices, and are suitable for different voltage and power ranges. Opto-isolation terminals offer advantages such as low signal loss at the control end, high switching frequency, no mechanical contact bounce, wear-free switching, high insulation voltage, resistance to vibration, independence from position, and long service life, leading to their widespread application in the field of automatic control.

ATOS plug applications

Each bus type has its specific application areas. For instance, FF and PROFIBUS-PA are suitable for process control in industries such as petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, and metallurgy; LonWorks, PROFIBUS-FMS, and DevieceNet are suitable for buildings, transportation, agriculture, and other fields; DeviceNet and PROFIBUS-DP are suitable for the manufacturing industry. However, these divisions are not absolute, as each fieldbus strives to expand its application areas and penetrate each other's markets. Most fieldbuses are backed by one or several large multinational corporations and have established corresponding international organizations to expand their influence and gain more market share. For example, PROFIBUS is mainly supported by Siemens Company and has established the PROFIBUS International User Organization. WorldFIP is mainly backed by Alstom Company and has established the WorldFIP International User Organization.
