Power Terminal Block for PCB Mount
The TE Connectivity 1-1986660-2 is a 2-position PCB-mount terminal block with a 0.400" (10.16 mm) pitch, designed for screw-clamp termination of 6-26 AWG wire. The side-entry orientation routes wires parallel to the board — a detail that matters when you're fitting this into a shallow enclosure or routing a bundle along the PCB edge. Rated 65 A at 300 V, it's built for the main power rail or a heater circuit, not signal-level work. The M4 screw is steel with zinc plating; the clamp is brass with nickel plating. Torque spec is 2.26 Nm (20 Lb-In) — you'll want a torque driver on this one, not just a screwdriver, to get the clamp force right without stripping the threads. The interlocking side feature lets you gang multiple blocks side-by-side on the same rail without gaps — useful when you're building out a multi-position distribution point from single-position blocks. Single-level construction, through-hole mounting to the PCB.
