1-1986726-0

Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets are wiring components designed to quickly and securely connect wires to printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other wiring components. 1-1986726-0 is one type of terminal blocks, designed specifically for applications where space is at a premium. This particular terminal block is designed to accept a single lead wire, but with the standard header plug, multiple wires can be daisy chained.

Terminal Block Design

The 1-1986726-0 terminal block consists of a header, plug, and receptacle. The header contains two leads, an insulation displacement connection (IDC) and a conductive terminal. The IDC is designed to accept a flat conductor and grip it firmly, while the conductive terminal is designed to accept a solid conductor. The plug is designed to accept two lead wires in the same orientation and is then secured to the header with a locking tab. The receptacle is designed to accept the header plug and the lead wire is connected to the jack.

Header Leads

The header is the most important part of the 1-1986726-0 terminal block. It contains two leads, an IDC and a conductive terminal. The IDC is designed to accept a flat conductor and grip it firmly. The conductive terminal is designed to accept a solid conductor. Both leads are pre-tinned for easy soldering. They also have a maximum voltage rating of 250V and a maximum current rating of 15A.

Plug Assembly

The plug assembly is designed to accept two lead wires in the same orientation. It is secured to the header with a locking tab and has an insulation displacement contact (IDC) and a conductive terminal. The IDC is designed to accept a flat conductor and grip it firmly, while the conductive terminal is designed to accept a solid conductor.

Receptacle

The receptacle is designed to accept the header plug. Lead wires are connected to it by pressing the plug into the receptacle. It also has an insulation displacement contact (IDC) and a conductive terminal. The IDC is designed to accept a flat conductor and the conductive terminal is designed to accept a solid conductor.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 1-1986726-0 terminal block is fairly simple. First, the header is connected to the printed circuit board with solder or a crimp connection. Lead wires are then routed to the terminal block, where they are secured in the plug assembly. The plug is then inserted into the receptacle and tensioned with the locking tab. The connection is now complete and both the positive and negative lead wires are securely connected.

Applications

The 1-1986726-0 terminal block has a variety of applications in the electronics industry. It is commonly used to quickly and securely connect wires to printed circuit boards and other wiring components in electronic enclosures, including power supplies, lighting systems, control systems, and more. They are particularly useful in applications where space is at a premium.
