Alarming catalogue details hazard warnings
Exclusively available from distributor Switchtec is the first ever UK dedicated catalogue from Sirena, Europe's leading manufacturer of visual and acoustic signalling equipment.
Aimed at OEMs, CEMs, PCB assemblers, kitters and end users, the 45 degree block uses a simple and effective, plug-in style of connection that allows quick connection and disconnection without tools.
Euroclamp has responded to manufacturers and end users who were demanding a quicker, simpler solution to meet the needs of today's efficient manufacturing and servicing procedures.
For versatility, the connectors are available in two pitch sizes - 5.08 and 10.16mm - and with a choice of open or closed ends for when the blocks are used end to end.
All variations are rated at 16A.
The smaller, 5.08mm pitch size blocks are rated at 450V, and the 10.16mm pitch blocks are rated at 750V, and they are test voltage rated at 2.5kV/60s (EN60998-1) and 3kV/60s(EN60998-1), respectively.
The PI series terminal blocks are available in 2-24 poles variants in 5.08mm pitch, and 2-12 poles in 10.16mm pitch.
For good conductivity and resistance to corrosion, the terminals are tin-plated copper.
The terminal blocks are for use in working temperatures of up to 125 degrees C and are supplied in the popular standard green colour.
Euroclamp's plug-in angled terminal block from Switchtec is a natural development of the company's existing range of angled terminal blocks with standard screw type connections.
The new range is the result of a considerable investment by Euroclamp in new technology and manufacturing machinery.
The PI series is available ex stock now from Switchtec and in common with the vast majority of Euroclamp products, is RoHS compliant.
