Product Information

Full details

This TruConnect Terminal Block is designed for engineers and hobbyists needing a reliable vertical connection solution. Its key benefit is the easy plug-in design combined with secure rising clamp terminals, simplifying wire termination for up to 11 poles. A potential caveat is its specific 5.08mm pitch, requiring compatible mating connectors.

FAQs

What is the pitch of this terminal block?

The pitch of this terminal block is 5.08mm.

What is the maximum wire gauge this terminal block can accept?

It can accept wire gauges from 28 AWG up to 12 AWG (which is equivalent to 2.5mm²).

What is the maximum voltage and current rating?

The rated voltage is 300V and the rated current is 15A.

What material is the housing made of?

The housing is made of green flame-retardant PA66 material, rated UL94-V0.

Is this terminal block suitable for outdoor use?

While the material is flame-retardant, it's not explicitly rated for outdoor environmental conditions. For outdoor use, ensure adequate protection from moisture and extreme temperatures.

How many connection points does it have?

It has 11 connection points (poles).

What type of terminal is used for wire connection?

It uses rising clamp terminals with slotted M3 zinc-plated steel screws.

Troubleshooting

Wire not securely held

Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and the M3 screw is tightened sufficiently. Check that the wire gauge is within the 28-12AWG range.

No continuity between connected wires

Verify that the wire is fully inserted into the terminal and the screw is making good contact. Check the mating connector for proper alignment and connection.

Terminal block feels loose

Ensure the mating connector is fully seated and secured. Check for any damage to the terminal block or its mating counterpart.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure and reliable wire connections via rising clamp terminals.
  • Vertical orientation saves space in compact electronic designs.
  • Broad wire gauge support (28-12AWG) enhances versatility.
  • Durable and flame-retardant housing for safety.
  • UL approved for guaranteed quality and safety standards.

Cons

  • Fixed 5.08mm pitch may limit compatibility with non-standard connectors.
  • Requires specific mating connectors for the plug-in functionality.
  • Not designed for extremely high current or voltage applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select appropriate wire size within the 28-12AWG range.
  2. Strip wire ends to the correct length as per the terminal screw mechanism (typically 5-7mm).
  3. Insert the stripped wire end into the terminal opening.
  4. Tighten the slotted M3 screw firmly using a suitable screwdriver to secure the wire within the rising clamp.
  5. Repeat for all 11 poles as needed.
  6. Connect the mating plug to the vertical female terminal block.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a mating connector with a 5.08mm pitch and compatible female receptacle.
  • Suitable for DC and AC circuits up to 300V and 15A.
  • Ensure wire insulation is rated for the application voltage.

Care:

  • Keep the terminal block clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check screw tightness to ensure continued secure connections, especially in environments with vibration.
