3-Position Side-Entry Terminal Block, 5.00 mm Pitch
The Molex Eurostyle ESE 39543 395433003 is a 3-position, single-level terminal block with a side-entry wire orientation — the screw axis runs parallel to the PCB so the wire enters horizontally. It uses a rising cage clamp termination: turning the screw lifts a brass clamp plate that traps the conductor against the current bar, giving a gas-tight connection on solid or stranded wire from 14 to 22 AWG. The 0.197" (5.00 mm) pitch keeps the board footprint compact while leaving enough creepage for the 300 V rating. Rated 15 A continuous, with a polyamide (PA66) housing rated -40°C to 105°C — suited for industrial control panels, HVAC, and power distribution PCBs where a screw-terminated, field-serviceable connection is preferred over a crimp or IDC.
