Product details

6-Position 5.08 mm PCB Terminal Block with Rising Cage Clamp

It uses a rising cage clamp termination with an M3 screw, accepting 12-30 AWG wire. The block mounts vertically through the PCB, with the wire entry perpendicular to the board surface. The green PA66 housing provides visual identification for the 5.08 mm pitch family, and the side interlocking feature lets you gang multiple blocks into a multi-position assembly without extra hardware.

17.5 A at 300 V — Continuous Duty Rating

Each position is rated 17.5 A continuous current at 300 V. The 5.08 mm pitch provides the creepage distance for the 300 V working voltage between adjacent positions. The brass, tin-plated contacts handle the rated current without excessive temperature rise at the screw termination.
