Power Distribution Point for PCB Bus Bars
The TE Connectivity 5055323-9 is a 6-pin screw terminal power tap designed for PCB-mounted power distribution. It carries a 15 A current rating per pin, making it a direct path for feeding a board-level bus or a main DC rail rather than a signal interconnect. Tin-plated copper alloy contacts handle the current duty; the 6-32 steel screw secures the wire lug or ring terminal against the pad.
The 15 A per pin is the current each screw terminal can carry continuously at the rated temperature rise. The press-fit pin relies on the interference fit with the plated hole for both electrical contact and mechanical retention; the board hole diameter and plating thickness must match the pin geometry in the product drawing to hit the rated current without excessive resistance. Tin finish is adequate for the typical mating cycle count in a permanent or infrequently serviced power connection.
The screw terminal accepts a ring or spade lug secured by the 6-32 screw. The press-fit tail goes through the PCB hole — no solder wicking or flux residue. The steel screw should be torqued to the manufacturer's specification (not listed here; the product drawing gives the value). The copper alloy contact body carries the current from the screw pad to the press-fit pin. The housing is not sealed — this is an indoor, enclosure-mounted power tap, not an outdoor or washdown part.
