Overview

The 282837-7 is a 7-position, green terminal block featuring a 5.08mm (0.200 inch) pitch and a horizontal wire-to-board orientation. It utilizes a rising cage clamp mechanism for secure wire termination, supporting wire sizes from 16 to 28 AWG. This through-hole component is rated for 300V and provides a reliable interface for power and signal distribution in industrial environments.

Why Choose This Part

The rising cage clamp design ensures a high clamping force without damaging fine-stranded wires, maintaining low contact resistance over time. Its side-interlocking feature allows multiple blocks to be combined into longer strips while maintaining precise pitch spacing. With a 300V rating and 5.08mm pitch, it provides sufficient creepage and clearance for many mains-referenced or high-voltage DC applications.

Applications

Industrial Control Panels
Used for connecting field wiring to internal PCB logic in motor starters and PLC I/O modules.
Power Supply Outputs
Provides a high-current capable interface for DC power distribution in embedded systems.
HVAC Systems
