Bulleting IEC Terminal Blocks Overview and Regulatory Information Bulletin -J, -W -L Type Screw Type Terminal Blocks Spring-Clamp Terminal Blocks Technology Screw terminations are a time-proven method of wire connection. Their greatest advantage is the ability to land multiple wires to a single terminal, potentially saving panel space. Screw type blocks can often accept up to five solid or stranded wires per terminal. They also typically provide the best visual indication of the wire connection. Compared to screw type terminations, spring clamp terminations can be a significantly faster method of connection and can often reduce wire connection time by %. Because the wire is under constant tension from the spring clamp, spring type terminations also produce very favorable results in high vibration applications.
