Overview

The 1017780000 is a 12-position female terminal block plug from Weidmuller's BLF 5.00HC series, featuring a 5.00mm pitch and 180-degree straight wire entry. It utilizes PUSH IN connection technology with a manual actuator for fast, tool-free wiring of conductors ranging from 26 AWG to 12 AWG. This connector is rated for up to 300V and 18.5A per the manufacturer's data, providing a high-current solution for wire-to-board interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

The PUSH IN actuator mechanism significantly reduces assembly time by allowing solid or ferruled wires to be inserted without tools. Its High Current (HC) design supports up to 18.5A, while the 180-degree orientation is ideal for free-hanging cable extensions or tight-clearance panel layouts. The integrated retention latches ensure a secure mechanical connection to the mating header, preventing accidental disconnection under vibration.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Used as a removable interface for I/O wiring in PLC systems and motor control centers.
Power Distribution Units
Suitable for low-voltage power distribution thanks to its 18.5A current rating and support for 12 AWG wire.
HVAC Systems
Ideal for field-terminating sensor and actuator wiring in building automation controllers.
Test and Measurement Equipment
Provides a reliable, high-density mating interface for modular benchtop or rack-mount instrumentation.
