Terminal Block Overview
The Molex 395433103 is a 3-position Eurostyle ESE 39543 terminal block on 5.00 mm pitch, rated 10 A at 300 V. It uses a screw-rising cage clamp to terminate 16-24 AWG wire, with the wire entry vertical to the board.
Fit and Termination
Through-hole mounting with vertical wire orientation — the screw terminals face up, so the wire enters perpendicular to the PCB. The rising cage clamp pulls the wire against a brass current bar; the 0.4 Nm torque spec is tight enough for solid and stranded wire without crushing the strands. Tin-plated brass contacts handle the 10 A per position; the steel screw is zinc-plated to resist corrosion in the field.
