### **Core Functions and Roles**
1. **Electrical Connection Stability**
- Mechanically secures wires to prevent loosening caused by vibration, thermal fluctuations, or external forces, avoiding poor contact or short circuits.
- Example: In industrial robot joint motors, terminal blocks maintain stable encoder signal transmission despite high-frequency vibrations.
2. **Modular Design Simplifies Maintenance**
- Enables rapid plug-and-play replacement of terminal blocks for debugging or repairs. For instance, modular I/O terminals on PLCs allow individual module replacement without disrupting the entire system.
3. **High-Density Wiring Management**
- Compact terminal blocks (e.g., barrier-type terminals) support dense signal line layouts in confined spaces, such as servo drive control cabinets with hundreds of connections.
