A very frequent requirement for a simple and reliable connection of wires to a PCB is relevant since the world knows plated copper boards. There are many solutions and producers, thus a choice of a suitable type is usually a question of your preferences, requirements for the device, availability, distributors’ offer,....
Various solutions from world-class producers like TE Connectivity (Tyco, AMP), Wago, PhoenixContact and also from Euroclamp can be found in our store. Just the last one mentioned - Euroclamp, focuses mainly on PCB terminal blocks, which is reflected in a wide offer. From our experience we can confirm a quality and reliability of these connectors. MV, MVS and MVE series, which are terminal blocks for PCB, belong to the most favourite ones. They´re available in pitches of 3,5mmm/ 3,81mm/ 5,0mm/ 5,08mm/ 6,35mm/ 7,5mm/ 7,62mm/ 9,52mm/ 10,0mm/ 10,16mm/ 12,7mm/ 15mm/ 15,24mm/ 19,04mm/ 20,32mm. In order for you to easily find a suitable type, we bring you a few hints and explanations regarding their description.
● MVxxx - the main type for PCB.
Example: MV153-5,08-V-L
1- Nominal wire cross section – 1,5mm2
5- Class of pitch – class 5 contains 5mm, 5,08mm and double pitch
3- Number of poles
5,08- real pitch
V- vertical version – screwdriver vertical to PCB
L- stackable version, all other are modular (without L)
●MI–angled terminal blocks - 35°resp. 45°
●ML – terminal blocks for Euroclamp plastic enclosures for DIN rail
Body of connectors is made of a rigid self-extinguishing polyamide (UL94-V0) and the connector itself is made of nickel plated copper alloy. Basic color of these connectors is green (RAL6032) but upon order they´re also available in other colors (grey, black, blue, red, yellow, brown and other). A considerable advantage is also a wide range of operating temperatures of -40 to +130°C.
Types with a wide pitch (for example 10mm) are physically the same with types with a half pitch ( 5mm), they only differ in omitted pins and naturally the maximum allowed voltage is higher (750VAC). Detailed description can be found in the Euroclamp short-form catalogue, in the main catalogue Euroclamp, as well as in datasheets at particular types.
