2-Position PCB Terminal Block, 5.00 mm Pitch, 16 A — Screwless Spring-Cage
The 2834076-1: It uses a screwless spring-cage clamp — push the lever, insert the wire, release — no screwdriver needed for termination. The 45° (135°) wire entry angle routes conductors at a slant off the board, which helps when the enclosure lid or adjacent components block a straight pull.
What the 16 A and 300 V Ratings Mean for Your Circuit
In practice, if your load pulls 12 A or less on a 24 VDC or 120 VAC line, you have healthy headroom. The tin-plated brass contacts are fine for moderate-cycle industrial wiring — think panel internal connections, not frequent field re-termination. For high-vibration environments, the spring-cage clamp holds better than a screw terminal because there's no thread to back off.
Wire Range and Termination — 14-28 AWG, No Screws
The spring-cage accepts 14-28 AWG solid or stranded wire. The side lever actuates the cage; push it down, insert the stripped wire, release the lever.
Mounting and Orientation — 45° Angle on the Board
This block mounts through-hole and orients the wire entry at 45° (or 135°, depending on which side you view) relative to the PCB plane.
