Board-Mount Reflow Terminal Blocks

TE Connectivity (TE)’s PCB terminal blocks feature various versions and wire termination methods, including rising cage clamp, push-in clamp, and screw clamp. The design of PCB terminal blocks consists of one-piece board-mount terminal blocks and two-piece plug connectors with mating straight and right-angle shrouded headers. The board-mount terminal blocks and PCB headers are stackable end-to-end without loss of centerline spacing. This specific board-mount reflow terminal block series covers a variety of one-piece vertical, low-profile surface-mount terminal blocks in high-temperature-resistant material with rising clamp technology via screw termination. It is an important extension of the TE PCB terminal block portfolio for automated reflow production.

Benefits

• The small dimensions and reflow capability create great opportunities for building automation applications where space-savings are key to drive smaller overall device size or to increase electronic content within the existing application space
• Easy termination and aligned to the trend of moving from wave to reflow soldering, allowing for automated assembly lines and the option for soldering on both sides of the board
• Smaller sized and low-weight components can easily become unstable during the soldering process; a closed clamp and added positioning pegs increases stability and improves planarity, significantly reducing problems during the soldering process
