Plug-in Rising Clamp PCB Terminal Blocks
OKW Electronics has launched the extensive CTB93xx plug-in rising clamp PCB terminal blocks from Camden Electronics. These UL, cUL, CE, VDE and IMQ approved terminals blocks are available in pitches of 3.5mm, 3.81mm, 5mm, 5.08mm, 7.5mm and 7.62mm, and are ordered as separate male and female connectors. The two connectors can be mounted vertically, or at 90°, to suit different applications.
The CTB93xx terminal blocks are molded in green UL94 V-0 flame retardant PA66, and are supplied in lengths of 1 pole up to a maximum of 24 poles, depending upon the pitch size. The connectors consist of individual blocks or a series of interlocking blocks which make up the number of poles. The female connectors are available with vertical or 90° cable entry. The male connectors are available with vertical or 90¢ª PCB pins, and can also be specified with open or closed ends.
CTB93xx terminals feature high quality rising clamp wire connections, with captured fixing screws and guided pin alignment. The technical specifications include cable entry from 17 AWG to 14 AWG, ratings from 9A/130V to 12A/750V, dielectric strength from 1.25kV/60s to 3kV/60s, insulation resistance of 5MW and a working temperature range of -20°C to +125°C.
Camden have also introduced orange polarizing clips for the 5mm, 5.08mm, 7.5mm and 7.62mm pitch female and closed end male connectors. These simple-to-use clips provide a foolproof method of ensuring that only correctly polarized connectors can be inserted into corresponding PCB mounted terminal blocks.
