Where this class is used
The 398900306: Eurostyle rising-cage blocks are the workhorse PCB termination point for industrial automation and control cabinet wiring — they bridge field wiring (16–30 AWG) to the PCB without a harness intermediary, which keeps the cabinet side serviceable. The interlocking feature on the housing allows multiple blocks to gang at the same level, covering multi-circuit distribution without a separate bus bar.
Ratings that drive the fit
The 13.5 A current rating is per contact — at 300 V it handles both signal-level and moderate power duties within a control cabinet, but the 5.00 mm pitch and 6-position count are the first check against the BOM: confirm the board footprint has six holes on a 5.00 mm grid. The tin-plated contact face is the standard industrial grade for this series — adequate for the rated cycles and re-termination events typical in panel wiring. The -40°C to 105°C operating window covers industrial floor and cabinet ambient without derating concern.
