Packaging, Materials & Interconnects: Printed-Circuit-Board Terminal Blocks Have A Sense Of Style

A new line of low-cost, pc-board terminal blocks comprises a host of forms and styles. The line includes fixed and pluggable wiring versions, as well as single- and double-level models. There's also a choice of screw and spring clamps that are industry-compatible with other terminal block forms. The blocks consist of UL94V0 housings. They include nickel-plated metal bodies and captive metal parts, and sizes range from two to 24 positions. Pin spacing spans from 3.5 to 10.16 mm. All of the standard sizes in between are available. Price ranges from $0.05 to $0.25 per circuit depending on the version (fixed or pluggable wiring). Delivery is from stock to four weeks.
