Poke-In Wire Receptacle for Board-Mounted Power Distribution
It sits in the 1954097 base series and carries a 0.157" (4.00 mm) pitch that sets the PCB land pattern — wide enough to route a low-voltage power trace between pads without tight clearance rules. The 4 A rating is the per-contact limit at the full temperature range; derate above 105°C per the manufacturer's curve. The SMT solder tails reflow in a standard lead-free profile; the LCP housing withstands the peak reflow temperature without warp.
Wire Sizing and Termination — 18 to 22 AWG
The poke-in wire termination accepts 18 AWG, 20 AWG, and 22 AWG solid or stranded wire. The 18 AWG end of the range carries the full 4 A with minimal voltage drop over short harness runs; 22 AWG is suited for signal-level circuits where the poke-in saves a crimp operation. Strip length and insertion force follow the TE application specification — the contact beam grips the conductor without a secondary clamp.
