282838-7

The TE Connectivity 282838-7 is a PCB mount terminal block designed for wire to board applications. It has 3 positions arranged in a single level with a pitch of 10.00mm. The block uses a screw rising cage clamp wire termination method, accepting wire gauges from 16 to 30 AWG. The housing is made of green PA 6-6 with a UL 94-V0 flammability rating. The clamping screw is M3 brass with nickel plating, and the terminal is brass with tin plating. Electrical ratings include a maximum voltage of 600V, a current rating of 13.5A, a contact resistance of less than 15 mOhm, and an insulation resistance greater than 1000 MOhm at 500V DC. It is designed for through hole mounting with a horizontal mating orientation (side entry). The operating temperature range is -40°C to +110°C. Features include interlocking side connections and stamped positions. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5 Nm, wire stripping length is 5.0 to 6.0 mm, minimum PCB hole diameter is 1.1 mm, and maximum PCB thickness is 2.4 mm.

This terminal block is suitable for power distribution and control applications where reliable, high-current connections are needed in a compact form factor. The side entry wire orientation facilitates easy wiring in tight spaces. The interlocking side feature allows multiple blocks to be ganged together for additional circuits while maintaining alignment.
