PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD TERMINAL BLOCKS

Altech corporation 

FIXED

Our printed circuit board terminal blocks designed for fixed

mounting offer high density, and maximum flexibility. Modular

construction simplifies ordering and reduces inventory. Two-and

3-pole modules can be interlocked to create multipole

assemblies. Altech can also supply ready-made assemblies

tailored to your specification. Fixed-mount blocks are available

with the economical tubular screw, box clamp or the screw-cage

clamp and offer several wire entry options to facilitate wiring

and increase accessibility.

PLUGGABLE

The two-piece, plug and header design of our “pluggable”

terminal blocks speed and simplify board replacement and

reduce costly downtime and misconnections. No special tools are

required. Headers are soldered into the board and accept the

plugs, which are easily removed for fast, convenient board or

device replacement. Choose single- mold designs for maximum

strength. Or choose modular designs which are assembled from

2 and 3 pole modules when you need maximum flexibility to

meet changing requirements. Both are available in a variety of

configurations. Headers are available in vertical, and

horizontal, single or double-level, with closed or open ends.

We offer pluggables with either screw-cage clamp termination for

heavy duty requirements or with tubular screw termination and

open headers for cost sensitive applications. We also offer a card

edge connector for a quick, reliable and inexpensive connection.

CONNECTION

Altech’s printed circuit board terminal blocks give you a choice

between tubular screw, box clamp and screw-cage clamp

designs:

• When your application calls for the highest reliability and

frequent wire terminations, the screw-cage clamp should be

your choice. As the clamp is tightened, the nickel-plated cage

rises, pressing the wire firmly against the busbar, ensuring

solid connections every time. Standard color is green.

• In the tubular screw and box clamp design, tightening the

screw presses the conductor directly against the bottom of the

clamp. These systems are ideal for cost sensitive, lighter duty

applications or applications with infrequent wire terminations.

Wire protectors are standard. Standard color is black for

tubular screw and green for box clamp.

PIN SPACING

Each clamp style is offered in metric and inch pin spacing. For

your convenience, this catalog is organized by pin spacing.

Fixed blocks are first, starting with the smallest pin spacing,

then pluggable shown in each available spacing.

MATERIALS

All of our printed circuit board terminal blocks feature precision

formed or machined metal parts which are electrolytically

plated. Nickel or tin-plated brass cage clamps or tubes, wire

protectors, and tin-plated solder pins satisfy the most

demanding requirements. Housings are precision-molded from

self-extinguishing polyamid 6.8 or glass-filled polyester

providing excellent strength and temperature resistance.

MARKING

Altech offers marking to identify terminal inputs. Order Hot

Stamp Imprinting for permanent marking of large quantities or

custom marked terminals. Standard marking is consecutive

numbers, left to right. This standard marking can be ordered by

adding the imprint sequence to the part number as a suffix

(i.e. MV-4612/1-12 would be a MV-4612 terminal block

imprinted 1 through 12, left to right).

Custom imprints are also available, consult Altech for ordering

information.
