It terminates wires from 16 AWG down to 30 AWG using a screw-driven rising cage clamp — the clamp lifts to capture the conductor, then tightens against the cage wall, not the screw tip, so stranded wire isn't damaged under torque. The M3 screw with a specified torque range of 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) gives a repeatable termination for production or field wiring. This is the SMT variant of the Termi-Blok series — most 5.00 mm pitch terminal blocks are through-hole, so this surface-mount version suits automated pick-and-place lines and double-sided boards where a through-hole part would block routing. ## Termination and Wire Range — 16-30 AWG with a Rising Cage Clamp The screw-rising cage clamp accepts solid, stranded, and ferruled wire from 16 AWG to 30 AWG. The clamp material is copper alloy with nickel plating; the screw is the same copper alloy-nickel construction, so galvanic corrosion between the screw and the clamp is minimised in humid environments. The specified torque range of 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) is tighter than many general-purpose terminal blocks — a torque screwdriver is recommended for production. Under-torquing leaves the conductor loose in the cage; over-torquing can strip the M3 thread in the polyamide housing. ## Mating Orientation and Board Layout The mating orientation is horizontal with the board — the wire entry is parallel to the PCB surface, not vertical. This matters for enclosure clearance: the terminated wires run along the board, not away from it, so the connector suits shallow enclosures or board-edge terminations where vertical wire exit would hit the lid.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 2383938-6 Termi-Blok, 5.00mm, 6 Pos, 13.5 A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2383938-6 Termi-Blok SMT terminal block, 5.00 mm pitch, 6 positions, 13.5 A, 300 V, 16-30 AWG, screw rising cage clamp, active production","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Termi-Blok, Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Wire-to-Board Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Black","Pitch":"0.197\\\" (5.00mm)","Series":"Termi-Blok, Buchanan","Current":"13.5 A","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Voltage":"300 V","Features":"Board Guide","Wire Gauge":"16-30 AWG","Screw Thread":"M3","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"Horizontal with Board","Positions Per Level":"6","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Clamp Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Plated","Screw Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Plated","Contact Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Tin Plated"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.2434","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.79000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1,"price":"$4.10000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.65200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.65300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.63480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.42120","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.59760","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.04100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.97490","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.24340","currency":"USD"},{"qty":230,"price":"$3.24339","currency":"USD"},{"qty":460,"price":"$3.22474","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/5bc0cfea48913df831aa6cb9c9ebf117.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 2383938-6 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, the 2383938-6 is ROHS3 compliant per the manufacturer's declaration."},{"question":"What wire gauge does 2383938-6 accept?","answer":"The rising cage clamp accepts wire from 16 AWG to 30 AWG, solid or stranded."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2383938-6","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2383938-6 when reusing this data.
