Push-In Spring Termination — No Screws, No Tools for Solid Wire
The 2834097-1 terminates wire via a leg spring mechanism — push solid wire or ferruled stranded into the entry and the spring clamps it. No screwdriver needed for the wire connection, which speeds up panel assembly versus a traditional screw-clamp block. The wire gauge range of 14-20 AWG covers common power and signal conductors for control cabinets and junction boxes.
Current and Voltage — What the 10 A and 300 V Ratings Mean
Rated 10 A per position at 300 V, the 2834097-1 handles typical industrial control signals and low-power distribution — think 24 VDC sensor loops, 120 VAC relay outputs, or small motor contactor coils.
Side-Entry Orientation and Interlocking Feature
The side-entry (horizontal with board) orientation means wires enter parallel to the PCB surface. The interlocking (side) feature lets multiple 2-position blocks snap together side-by-side.
