Board-Mount Power Terminal Block, 4 Positions, SMD
The TE Connectivity Buchanan Termi-Blok 2383942-4 is a 4-position, single-level terminal block designed for surface-mount termination on a PCB. The rising cage clamp mechanism, driven by an M2 screw torqued to 0.5-0.6 Nm, secures wires from 18 AWG down to 28 AWG.
SMD Assembly and Wire Termination
Surface-mount termination means this block goes through reflow with the rest of the board — no hand-soldering for the main joint. The contacts are copper alloy with nickel-tin plating, compatible with lead-free solder profiles. The rising cage clamp accepts solid or stranded wire; the screw pushes a clamp plate down onto the conductor, giving a gas-tight connection that resists vibration and thermal cycling. The horizontal wire entry (parallel to the board) keeps the wire path low-profile, useful in tight enclosures.
