8-position shrouded header for 5.00mm terminal blocks
The 2351885-8 is an 8-position, single-level shrouded header from TE's TB, Buchanan series, designed to mate with pluggable terminal blocks on a 5.00mm pitch grid. Rated 16 A at 300 V (UL), this header suits power distribution within industrial control panels, HVAC equipment, and lighting ballasts where a reliable, disconnectable interface between a PCB and field wiring is needed.
The 16 A per-contact rating at 300 V is the UL maximum for the header body and contact system. In practice, the current should be derated if ambient temperature exceeds 105°C or if multiple adjacent circuits are fully loaded, as the polyamide housing (UL94 V-0) has a temperature ceiling of 105°C.
ROHS3 compliant and packaged in bulk. The base product number is 2351885, which covers the full family of pitch and position variants.
