2-position right-angle SMT header for terminal block interfaces
The 2305908-2 is a 2-position, right-angle, surface-mount header from TE's WireMate, TB, Buchanan series, designed to mate with TB series pluggable terminal blocks. It carries a 5.00mm pitch, 15 A current rating per UL, and 300 V voltage rating — typical for power distribution and control wiring in industrial panels.
Pitch, current, and voltage drive the footprint and power budget
The 5.00mm pitch matches standard terminal block spacing, so the PCB layout aligns with the mating plug's contact centres. At 15 A per circuit, the header can handle moderate loads like relay outputs or solenoid drivers; the 300 V rating suits 120/240 VAC control circuits. With only 2 positions, this header is a minimal circuit-count option — ideal for single-phase power entry or a pair of signal wires on a terminal block.
SMT termination and reel packaging for automated assembly
Surface-mount termination (SMT) allows reflow soldering on a standard pick-and-place line. Cut Tape suits prototype or low-volume builds.
