The TE Connectivity 2213866-3 is a 3-position, single-level terminal block on a 0.197" (5.00 mm) pitch, terminated by screw clamp and designed for panel mount with snap-in retention. This is a field-wireable block: no crimp tool needed, just strip, insert, and torque the screw.
Wiring and Termination — Screw Clamp Field Connection
Wire termination is by screw clamp — a straightforward field connection for solid or stranded copper wire. For solid wire, strip to the length specified in the product drawing, insert fully under the clamp plate, and tighten to the recommended torque. The screw termination is reusable for rework or re-termination, unlike a crimped or IDC connection.
Mounting — Snap-In Panel Installation
Panel mount, snap-in — the housing presses into a rectangular cutout and locks without separate hardware. This saves assembly time compared to screw-mount blocks, but the panel thickness and cutout dimensions must match the housing drawing. The snap-in retention holds the block in place during wire insertion and vibration; for high-shock environments, verify the retention force against the application's mechanical load.
