Panel Wiring Terminal Block, 2-Position, 5.00 mm Pitch
The 1986711-2: This is the 2-position member of the 1986711 series, with a green polyamide housing rated for -40°C to 110°C operation. It carries a 16 A current rating and 300 V voltage rating, making it a fit for industrial control panels, power supply outputs, and lighting ballast wiring where tool-less field termination is preferred.
16 A at 300 V — Power Capacity for Control and Distribution
The 16 A per-position current rating at 300 V covers the majority of industrial control circuits and low-voltage power distribution up to 277/480 V line-to-neutral systems. The 12-30 AWG wire range means a single block can terminate a 12 AWG motor feed or a 30 AWG sensor signal — the push-button clamp handles both without changing tooling.
Screwless Push-Button Clamp — Tool-Free Termination
The screwless push-button clamp eliminates the need for screwdrivers or torque wrenches during installation — press the button, insert the stripped wire, release. This speeds up panel wiring and reduces the risk of over-torquing or under-torquing a screw terminal. The steel clamp material provides consistent spring force across the 12-30 AWG range, and the tin-plated copper alloy contacts give adequate corrosion resistance for indoor controlled environments.
Side Entry Orientation and Interlocking Feature
The interlocking side feature lets multiple 2-position blocks snap together to form a multi-position assembly — useful when a 4-, 6-, or 8-position block is needed but only the 2-position variant is stocked. No additional hardware is required; the blocks key together mechanically.
Active Production — No Obsolescence Risk
No official cross-reference or replacement part exists; the 2-position block is the base unit for the series.
