OSTKP160150

Terminal Blocks - Wire to Board

The OSTKP160150 is capable of a wide range of applications and working principles and is ideal for use in industrial and consumer electronic product designs, particularly in applications where it is important to achieve a high level of isolation between the two circuits and/or provide a low profile mounting configuration. The OSTKP160150 terminal block is available as a 1.27mm pitch, wire to board style connector. It is available in 2, 4, 6 and 8 contact configurations. The OSTKP160150 is designed for use in applications where a high current rating is not required, and features an internationally approved IP67 rating.

Application Fields

The OSTKP160150 terminal block is suitable for use in a variety of applications including electric vehicle charging, electronic control systems, office automation, medical, and HVAC systems. It is an ideal solution for power supplies, OEM/ODM industrial applications, as well as lighting systems and instrument encoders. Additionally, this terminal block provides optimal design flexibility and is engineered for simple assembly and connection.

Working Principle

The OSTKP160150 terminal blocks feature a two-piece design, which can accommodate up to two wires in a single port. The insulation displacement contact technology used by the OSTKP160150 provides a reliable connection between the two circuits. This allows for a secure connection without the need for additional pigtails or crimps. The internal contact block is compatible with various wire gauges, depending on the current rating. The terminal\'s contacts are made from copper with a nickel plating, which provides the terminal block with score and corrosion resistance.

The OSTKP160150 terminal block is designed with a latch-lock mechanism to ensure a secure connection between the two circuits. This latch-lock mechanism offers an audible click when the terminal is correctly engaged. The terminal block is also secured with a UL94V-0 rated cover, which protects against mechanical shock and abrasion. Additionally, the active buttons provide a visual check that the terminal assembly is locked in place.

The OSTKP160150 terminal block has a compact and low profile design that helps to reduce the amount of electrical noise produced by the wires, as the noise is suppressed down the line. Additionally, the terminal block is UL approved and utilizes lead-free tin plating, making it compatible with RoHS standards. Overall, the OSTKP160150 terminal block is a cost-efficient and easy to use solution for any industrial or consumer electronic product design.
