  • News
Posted by Ningbo Zhongbo Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd. On Jun 27 2025

If you're exporting electrical components to the United States or Canada, one thing is clear:UL certification is a must. UL-listed terminal blocks are required for a wide range of applications in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical systems.

AtNingbo Zhongbo Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd., we manufacture terminal blocks that meetUL 1059standards and are widely used by North American OEMs, panel builders, and distributors. In this article, we break down what UL listing means, why it matters, and how Zhongbo supports compliance.


🔎1. What Does “UL Listed” Mean for Terminal Blocks?

AUL-listed terminal blockhas been tested and certified byUnderwriters Laboratoriesfor electrical safety and performance. UL 1059 is the main standard governing terminal blocks used to secure and terminate wires in control cabinets and distribution systems.

✅ UL-listed terminal blocks are:

  • Tested for electrical ratings (voltage, current)

  • Verified for insulation materials and flame resistance

  • Evaluated for environmental performance (temperature, humidity, etc.)

  • Labeled for traceability and regulatory inspection

Using UL-certified components is oftenmandatoryin North American construction, machinery, and OEM equipment.


🏭2. Zhongbo’s UL Certified Terminal Block Models

Zhongbo offers a wide selection of terminal blocks that comply withUL 1059andUL94V-0flame resistance:

  • ZB128 Series(5.0mm Screw-Type Terminal Block)

  • ZB301 Series(PCB Mount Terminal Block)

  • ZB9500 Series(Barrier Terminal Block)

Each model is manufactured withPA66 nylonhousing,brass/copper conductors, and marked with UL certification code for easy inspection.


📦3. Why UL Terminal Blocks Are Essential for U.S. Importers

OEMs and distributors operating in the U.S. or Canada must meet local codes such as:

  • NEC (National Electrical Code)

  • CSA (Canadian Standards Association)

  • UL and ANSI standards

Non-certified terminal blocks may be rejected by:

  • AHJ (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) inspectors

  • Contractors and integrators

  • End customers with compliance requirements

Choosing a UL-listed supplier like Zhongboreduces risk and saves timeduring approval processes.
