New PCB Terminal Block with Lever for Connection & Release without Use of Tools

July 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Power PCB Terminal Block with Lever
The new PLH 16 PCB terminal block has a lever for connection and release of the conductor without use of tools.  The soft touch lever comes in the open position, ready to accept the wire.  Light finger pressure is all it takes to complete the connection.  The spring cage creates a gastight wire termination, which self adjusts with temperature changes and vibration conditions.  A conductor of 4 AWG provides current-carrying capacity up to 70 A.  The housing size is compact as compared to other terminal blocks with similar current and voltage ratings.

Features & Benefits:
•   Fast wire connection saves time and money
•   Zigzag pinning of 10 mm size for increased voltage rating
•   Narrow design width creates more space on the PCB
•   Color coding of each position possible for ease of wire color matching
•   Wire strip instructions molded onto the housing end wall

Technical Data:
•   Positions: 2-8
•   Pitch: 10 mm or 15 mm
•   18 – 4 AWG
•   70A 600 V, UL for 15 mm
•   66A 300 V, UL for 10mm
•   60A 600V, UL for zigzag pinning 10 mm
•   Right angle PCB mount
•   Color: Green/orange latch

Applications
•   Power supply units
•   Frequency converters
•   Motors and drives
•   Power engineering
