The TEKLED CONNECTOR I-TYPE PCB 6MM (modeled after industrial standards like the Phoenix Contact PCB header family) is a high-performance, pluggable straight terminal block header designed for robust printed circuit board (PCB) layouts. Molded from premium, flame-retardant green polyamide, this straight "I-Type" layout houses an enclosed row of durable male contact pins to deliver safe, clean electrical connection paths across low-to-medium voltage control networks.
Technical Specifications
The standard structural, electrical, and baseline parameters for this pluggable straight PCB header include:
-
Connection Profile: I-Type straight/horizontal pluggable shrouded male pin header.
-
Pin / Pole Pitch: 6.00mm standard centerline-to-centerline pin spacing (also available in look-alike 5.08mm or 7.62mm matrices depending on production variant).
-
Number of Positions: 10-Pin/10-Pole continuous row configuration.
-
Mounting Mechanism: Straight pin wave-soldering terminations built for direct through-hole PCB placement.
-
Operating Mains Threshold: Rated for safe industrial usage up to 320V–400V AC/DC depending on the hosting board's insulation layout.
-
Current Carrying Capacity: Handles continuous current distribution limits up to 12A–16A.
-
Enclosure Composition: Industrial-grade, self-extinguishing Polyamide (PA66) structural housing (UL94 V-0 rated).
-
Contact Components: High-conductivity, tin-plated copper alloy pins offering low contact resistance and excellent protection against oxidization.
Applications & Use Cases
Thanks to its straight shrouded profile and highly secure lock-in mating mechanism, this pluggable header serves as an efficient choice for power and signal distribution lines:
-
Industrial Automation & PLCs: Serves as a primary interface port on programmable logic controllers, industrial relay blocks, and automation expansion modules to bridge field wire signals onto internal circuitry.
-
LED Power Infrastructure: Used as an integrated input/output disconnect block directly attached to heavy-duty commercial LED driver boards and centralized low-voltage transformers.
-
HVAC Control PCBs: Bridges external wiring inputs from smart digital thermostats, fan speed dials, and multi-zone dampers onto centralized ventilation control boards.
- Power Supplies & Inverters: Acts as a safe, pluggable power distribution hub on variable frequency drives (VFDs), solar inverter controls, and switching power electronics.
Critical Installation Note
Before soldering this component to your board, please confirm the exact center-to-center pin spacing (pitch) using a digital caliper. Because industrial green shrouded blocks look nearly identical in pitches like 5.08mm and 6.00mm, double-checking dimensions ensures the straight pins drop cleanly into your PCB's pre-drilled layout pad array without putting strain on the solder joints.
