Terminal Blocks have spring clamp compression mount contacts.
Press Release Summary:
Utilizing METZ CONNECT Springcon technology for secure, vibration-resistant connection that automatically adjusts to 28–16 AWG wires, SC305 and SL305 series facilitate wire-to-board connection without header. Contact is established directly on solder pads, allowing opposing side of PCB to be used for components. With 5 mm centerline, solid wires insert directly for tool-less connection. While SL305 is direct solder component, SC305 is snap-fit version for traditional wall-plate applications.
Original Press Release:
METZ CONNECT - the "Quality Leader" is Proud to Introduce New Products as Follows: Series SC305/SL305 Terminal Blocks Compact and Cost Effective with Spring Clamp Compression Mount Contacts
The new SC305 and SL305 series with spring clamp compression mount contacts from METZ CONNECT facilitate a wire-to-board connection without the use of a header. Contact is established directly on the solder pads where a header would traditionally stand, thus allowing designers to use the opposing side of the PCB for components. Lending itself towards product miniaturization, the SC305/SL305 utilizes METZ CONNECT proven Springcon technology for a secure, vibration resistant connection that automatically adjusts to wires ranging in size from 28 to 16 AWG. With a 5mm centerline, solid wires can be directly inserted for a simple, tool-less connection. The SL305 is a direct solder component and the SC305 is a sleek, snap-fit version for traditional wall-plate applications.
Advantages:
Connection convenience through push-in technology.
No second component necessary (e.g. pin header or female connector).
Contact is made directly on a pad, avoiding drilling for through-contacts at the PC board. This offers space for additional component placements on the opposite side of the PC board.
The small size of the compression contacts allows for a more compact system design size.
Self-cleaning contacting on the PC board due to the punctual support of the compression-mount contacts.
Simple assembling through the elimination of plug-in and pull-out forces.
Spring contact adapts automatically (maintenance-free).
High retention force of the conductor even under vibrations.
No solder process is necessary for wire-to-board applications.
