This TruConnect 211868 terminal block header is designed for electronic engineers and DIY enthusiasts who need reliable, right-angle connections in their circuit designs. Its key benefit is providing a secure and space-efficient side-entry connection point for power or signal distribution. A potential caveat is its specific pitch and voltage/current rating, requiring careful consideration for compatibility with other components.

The right-angle side entry allows wires to connect to the header from the side, at a 90-degree angle. This is useful for creating compact designs and routing wires neatly along a PCB or enclosure wall.
This header has a voltage rating of 300V. It is suitable for many standard electronic applications but may not be appropriate for high-voltage industrial or specialized power systems that exceed this rating.
An open-ended design means the connector housing does not have a cover or shroud over the pin entry points. This often simplifies wire insertion and termination, particularly in manufacturing.
This specific header has 5 poles, meaning it can accommodate 5 individual wire connections when used with a compatible 5-position mating connector.
This header requires a corresponding female connector (receptacle) with a 7.62mm pitch and a compatible side-entry design to establish a connection.
The maximum safe current rating for this header is 15A.
Yes, TruConnect offers sibling products in this series with different pole counts, such as 4, 7, 8, 9, and 11 ways, allowing for flexibility in design.
Ensure the mating connector is fully seated on the header. Check solder joints on the PCB for integrity. Verify that wires are securely terminated in the mating connector.
Confirm that the current load does not exceed the 15A rating. Ensure proper wire gauge is used for the current. Check for any short circuits or excessive resistance in the connected circuit. Verify adequate airflow around the connection.
Handle with care during assembly and maintenance. If pins are bent or damaged, the header may need to be replaced. Ensure the correct mating connector is used to avoid stress.
Setup: This is a PCB mount header. It requires soldering to a printed circuit board. Ensure the PCB has corresponding mounting holes and solder pads for the 7.62mm pitch and right-angle configuration. The wires from your application should be stripped to the appropriate length and inserted into the mating connector, which then plugs onto this header.
Compatibility: This header is designed to mate with a corresponding female connector (receptacle) that also features a 7.62mm pitch and side-entry design. Always verify the pin count and electrical specifications (voltage and current) of the mating connector and your system to ensure compatibility and safe operation. It is part of the TruConnect 7.62mm pitch terminal block series, with sibling products offering different pole counts (e.g., 4, 7, 8, 9, 11 way).
Care: As a passive electronic component, the terminal block header requires minimal care. Keep the contact areas clean and free from dust, moisture, and corrosive substances. Avoid excessive force during mating and unmating to prevent damage to the pins or housing. Ensure proper ventilation if used in high-current applications to prevent overheating.
