The 1-2834016-6: It terminates wires via a screwless push-in spring mechanism — the leg spring clamps the conductor when you push it in, no screwdriver needed for the wire itself.
Wire Termination and Gauge Fit
The push-in spring termination accepts 20 to 26 AWG solid or stranded wire. The spring leg holds the conductor against the current bar — no screw torque to manage, no risk of backing out under vibration. The clamp material is stainless steel, so the spring force stays consistent across the temperature range. For a harness builder, this means faster assembly on the line compared to a screw-clamp block, especially in multi-position runs where you'd otherwise torque each screw.
Six positions per level, single level — that's 0.500" from pin 1 to pin 6 center-to-center. The through-hole mounting pins go into plated holes; the horizontal wire entry means the block sits flush with the board edge and wires exit sideways, not upward. For a board layout engineer, this keeps the component height low and lets you route traces under the block on the opposite side.
