Altech
is pleased to announce a new, more extensive printed circuit board
terminal block line. This line offers the standard single and double
level fixed and pluggable terminal blocks in metric and US pin
spacings. However, this product line goes beyond our past standard
offering. There is now a wider array of products within each pin
spacing as well as new types of blocks such as 35 degree, reverse horizontal
wire entry, and triple level fixed blocks, card edge connectors, panel
feed through blocks, barrier strips, and plugs/headers with screw
flanges. This product assortment combined with the new pricing
structure makes this line extremely competitive.
Altech
printed circuit board terminal blocks give you highly dependable
connections without the need for wire lugs. Choose either tubular screw
clamps or box clamps when economy is paramount or screw-cage clamps for
heavy-duty applications. In each case, simply strip and insert the wire
and tighten the screw. We recommend the use of ferrules, especially for
export applications and whenever fine stranded wires must be terminated.
Our
board mounted terminal blocks meet or exceed most international
standards and are accepted worldwide. They are available in single,
double and triple level configurations with both, millimeter and inch
pin spacings. All leave mini footprints to save valuable real estate.

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.
Conserve
valuable board space with Altech fixed mount blocks which are available
in screw-cage clamp, tubular screw clamp or box clamp designs. Both
clamps provide highly dependable connections. Choose US (inch) or
Metric pin spacing. Several wire enrty options are offered. Modular
construction simplifies ordering and reduces inventory.
- Screw Cage Clamp Design
- Tubular Screw Clamp Design
- Box Clamp Design
- From 10A, 30 AWG up to 24A, 12 AWG

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.
Pluggable designs speed and simplify board and device replacement. Available are three designs: Industry Standard Pluggable for industrial applications where frequent wire-to-board connections occur, the Econo-Pluggable for cost sensitive applications and Card Edge for easy disconnect.
- Industry Standard Pluggable
- Econo Pluggable
- Card edge
- Up to 300V, 20A, 12 AWG

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.
