8-Position, 5.00 mm Pitch PCB Terminal Block — Push-Button Clamp, 16 A
It terminates wires via a screwless push-button clamp — push the button, insert the stripped conductor, release — no tool required. Rated 16 A at 300 V, it handles the current draw of a small motor drive or a distributed power rail without thermal concerns. The green polyamide housing is a visual cue for ground or earth circuits in panel builds, though the block is not limited to that role. Side interlocking tabs let you gang multiple 1986711-8 blocks into a multi-pole assembly that stays aligned on the board.
Wire Sizing and Termination — 12 to 30 AWG, No Screws
The push-button clamp accepts wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG — one block covers both 12 AWG power feeds and 30 AWG signal wires. The steel clamp material holds the conductor without cold flow, and the copper alloy contact is tin-plated, which is standard for industrial environments where mating cycles are low and cost matters.
