2 Position Wire to Board Terminal Block Horizontal with Board 0.197" (5.00mm) Through Hole screw terminal 2 pin 3.5mm
This component is a printed circuit board mounted screw terminal block designed to provide a secure and serviceable wire-to-board connection. It accommodates two conductors and uses a screw clamp mechanism to ensure reliable electrical and mechanical contact. The compact 3.5 mm pitch makes it suitable for space-constrained designs while maintaining adequate creepage and clearance distances for low-voltage applications. The terminal is intended for through-hole mounting and supports field wiring without the need for specialized tools, making it appropriate for industrial control systems, power distribution modules, and general-purpose electronic assemblies.
Mechanical Characteristics:
The terminal block is constructed with a high-temperature thermoplastic housing that provides mechanical strength and electrical insulation. The housing is typically green in color and designed for side-entry wire insertion. The clamping system uses metal screws and pressure plates to secure stripped wire ends. The component is designed for through-hole PCB mounting with soldered pins providing structural stability. The form factor supports modular placement along the PCB edge for accessible wiring.
Electrical Characteristics:
The device is designed for low to moderate voltage and current applications typical of signal and power connections in control electronics. Conductive elements are made from metal alloys with appropriate plating to ensure good conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The screw clamp connection provides stable contact resistance under vibration and thermal cycling conditions.
Material and Environmental Characteristics:
The insulating body is made from flame-retardant thermoplastic material compliant with relevant safety standards. The component is suitable for standard operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial and commercial electronics. Materials are selected to meet common environmental and regulatory requirements such as RoHS compliance.
Application Considerations:
This terminal block is intended for applications requiring reliable field wiring connections, ease of maintenance, and secure termination. It is commonly used in power supplies, control panels, interface modules, and embedded systems. Proper PCB footprint design and adherence to recommended soldering practices are required to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
