Sensor junction blocks can be applied to many different industries and appliances, but there are two main types:

Bussed distribution blocks: These sensor junction blocks are enclosed and can accommodate one larger input cable that can be split into smaller cables for branch circuits.

Independent distribution blocks: This type allows you to route multiple individual circuits through a single location because they are not connected.

Distribution blocks are also categorized according to how you can mount them. The three most common are:

PCB mounts: The housing is soldered directly to a PCB, with bare wires inserted into the module and secured using a clamp.

Barrier strips: If vibration is an issue, this may be most appropriate. Barrier strip terminal blocks require you to screw the terminal that accepts the wire and tighten it to the housing.

Feed-through: When you need a wire-to-wire connection, this may be best. It's commonly found in DIN rail mounted types. You will need to insert the two wires through opposite sides of the housing to form a connection.
