Overview

The 1715721 is a 2-position, green PCB terminal block from the Phoenix Contact MKDS 1,5 series with a 5.08 mm pitch. It utilizes a screw-driven rising cage clamp mechanism to provide high-reliability connections for wires ranging from 14 AWG to 26 AWG. Designed for through-hole mounting, it supports a nominal current of 17.5 A and a voltage rating of up to 400 V.

Why Choose This Part

The rising cage clamp principle ensures low contact resistance and prevents wire damage during repeated tightening. Its interlocking side features allow for the creation of multi-position blocks while maintaining a consistent 5.08 mm pitch. The UL-recognized V0 flammability rating and wide temperature range of -40 to 105 degrees Celsius make it suitable for harsh environments.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
Connecting field wiring to DIN-rail mounted or internal PCB-based PLC I/O modules.
