What are Connectors?

Electrical connectors for panel wiring are components that allow electrical circuits to be safely and securely connected within a control panel or electrical distribution panel. These connectors play a crucial role in ensuring proper electrical connections between different devices, components, or terminals in the panel.

Connectors come as many different variations and have many different applications in the electrical space. The goal of connectors is to make your transition from one device to another as smooth and seamless as possible.

Types of Electrical Connectors Offered by Control Design Supply

CDS offers a wide range of connectors for many different applications. We have multiple different brands and products to make sure you are getting the right product for the right price. Our offerings include:

Bus Bars – Commonly used as a place for multiple connection to be made to the same continuous bar. This allows for one bar to connect many different devices, rather than multiple connectors for the same power flow.
Heavy Duty Connectors – These are typically used for larger industrial cable. Often seen at the entrance to an enclosure or box.
PCB Connectors – These headers, terminal blocks, and receptacles are used on the printed circuit board level to connect a wire or harness to the PCB.
Power Distribution Blocks – These large terminal blocks are often used as a central hub for incoming power into a panel. These blocks will often distribute this power to the rest of the panel. They are usually larger to accommodate the high amperage coming into a panel.
Terminal Blocks – These connectors come in many shapes and sizes from din rail mounted terminal blocks to barrier style terminal blocks. These are commonly seen in panels as a means to connect multiple devices together.
Wire Terminations – These connectors are used on the ends of wires to plug into a terminal block or device.

Benefits of Using Electrical Connectors

Using electrical connectors in a panel is essential for several reasons, each relating to safety, reliability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

Safety – Prevention of electrical shock.
Reliability – No loose ends in any of the devices.
Efficiency – Quick disconnects make for quick changes to be made.
Organization – Connectors help provide a more organized electrical panel.
Regulatory Compliance – Connectors are required depending on the regulatory board.
Cost-Effectiveness – Quick maintenance will save you time and money.
