Poke-In Wire SMT Receptacle for Board-to-Cable Power Runs
The TE Connectivity 5-2834006-3 is a 3-position poke-in wire receptacle on a 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch, designed to terminate discrete wires directly into the PCB without a separate crimp terminal. Tin-plated copper alloy contacts handle 5A to 6A per circuit at a 400V voltage rating, with the full operating range spanning -40°C to 125°C — wide enough for underhood automotive or industrial cabinet duty. The resin housing is offered in black, natural, or red for color-coding different circuits in the harness.
Wiring and Termination: No Crimp Terminal Needed
This is a poke-in wire connector — the stripped wire inserts directly into the contact cavity and is retained by an internal spring beam. It accepts 18 AWG, 20 AWG, and 22 AWG solid or stranded wire. No separate crimp terminal means one fewer line item on the BOM and one less assembly step in the harness build.
Packaging and Line Feed for Automated Assembly
The 5-2834006-3 ships in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, with Cut Tape (CT) also available for prototype or low-volume runs. The reel format feeds directly into a standard pick-and-place machine, so the part can be placed alongside other SMT components in a single reflow pass. No manual handling required for the receptacle itself — just load the reel and let the line run.
