Overview

The 1803578 is a 2-position pluggable terminal block from the MC 1,5 series featuring a 3.81mm pitch. It utilizes a screw connection with a rising cage clamp tension sleeve to provide secure, high-pressure wire termination for cables ranging from 28 AWG to 16 AWG. This female connector is designed for free-hanging applications and rated for a current of 8A at 160V.

Why Choose This Part

The rising cage clamp mechanism ensures a large contact area and uniform pressure on the wire, preventing damage to fine strands. Its 180-degree wire entry and compact 3.81mm pitch allow for high-density wiring in space-constrained enclosures. The V0 flammability-rated polyamide housing and tin-plated contacts provide long-term durability in industrial conditions.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Used for low-voltage signal and power distribution in PLC and automation environments.
Embedded System Power
Acting as a detachable power input connector for custom PCB assemblies requiring field-serviceable wiring.
Sensor Interfacing
Connecting remote sensors to data acquisition systems where high reliability and vibration resistance are required.
