What This Poke-In Receptacle Does on the Board
It's a poke-in style connector, meaning you push the prepared 18-22 AWG wire into the housing and the internal contact grabs it. The 0.130" (3.30mm) pitch gives enough room for two wires side by side without crowding the board layout. Rated 3 A per circuit at 400 V, it handles signal or low-power duty in a compact SMT footprint. The housing is natural thermoplastic, the contacts are tin-plated copper alloy, and the operating range spans -20°C to 130°C — wide enough for industrial cabinet or automotive interior use.
Mounting and Wire Termination
This part mounts as a surface-mount device with bottom entry and through-board solder tails — the SMT pads sit on the board underside while the poke-in cavity faces up for wire insertion. The cover and solder retention features hold the assembly steady during reflow and in service. Wire gauge acceptance is 18-22 AWG; strip length and insertion force follow the manufacturer's recommended tooling, but the poke-in design eliminates the crimp step, saving a station on the harness line.
