ELM183200

Introduction

ELM183200 is a family of industrial terminal blocks designed for quick and reliable connection of wires to printed circuit boards. Featuring comfortable finger–safe locking and wide wire entry, these terminal blocks are suitable for a wide range of applications where quick and reliable board termination is required.

Applications

These terminal blocks are suitable for many applications. They have a wide operating temperature range, of -40°C to +105°C, with current ratings of 5A to 25A. This makes these terminal blocks suitable for location in harsh environments.

The features that make these terminal blocks suitable for a wide range of applications are its high contact force and secure connection system. With a high contact force, ELM183200 prevents the connection from loosening over time. Its secure connection system allows for simple wire insertion without any tooling, and its robust cantilever design ensures any vibration will not easily detach the connection from the board.

Applications for these terminal blocks include industrial lighting, industrial automation, HVAC systems, marine, transportation, railway, motion control, audio/video, healthcare, telecom and datacom, networking systems and even consumer electronics.

Working Principle

ELM183200 uses a cantilever spring clamp system with a high contact force to contact the board and a contact opening to easily insert the wire.

The first step is to insert the wire into the contact opening. The next step is the insertion of the block into the printed circuit board. The cantilever-action contact arms make the connection when the spring clamps onto the board. Despite any vibration during operation, the block secures itself to the board and remains firmly in place.

Once connected, the impressive contact force of up to 15N together with the self-cleaning contact guarantees a reliable contact throughout its cycle. The push-in technology also allows the user to quickly change the wire connection if needed without the need for a tool.

Conclusion

ELM183200 differentiates itself from traditional terminals by providing a secure and time saving connection for customers. With a high contact force and simple push-in contact, ELM183200 is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its features make it the ideal choice for any customer looking for a reliable and efficient board termination.
