Overview

The 1843635 is a 5-position vertical terminal block header from the Phoenix Contact MCV 1,5 series, featuring a 3.5mm pitch and shrouded housing. This through-hole component provides a stable board-to-wire interface with a current rating of 8A and a UL voltage rating of 300V. It is designed for wave soldering and uses tin-plated contacts with a green PBT housing rated for UL 94 V0 flammability.

Why Choose This Part

The four-sided shroud protects the pins from mechanical damage and prevents misaligned mating with the connector plug. Its 3.5mm pitch allows for high-density wiring while maintaining a 300V UL rating, making it more compact than standard 5.08mm headers. The vertical orientation and wave-solder compatibility streamline assembly on standard through-hole PCBs.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Used as a board-mounted interface for field wiring in PLC modules and distributed I/O systems.
Building Automation
Provides reliable power and signal connections for HVAC controllers and security system base stations.
Power Supply Units
Serves as an output header for low-to-medium power DC-DC converters and AC adapters requiring pluggable maintenance.
Test and Measurement
Integrated into custom PCB-based test fixtures for quick-connect signal routing.
