This specification covers the requirements for application of Terminal Block Stacking Connectors. The complete line consists of one–piece side entry, angled entry, and top entry printed circuit (pc) board terminal blocks and plug connectors with mating right–angle or vertical mount pc board headers. PC board headers are offered with either open and closed ends, and also in double–row configurations. These terminal blocks feature screw clamp contacts that accept wire sizes 0.03–4 mm2 (solid), or 0.03–2.5 mm2 (stranded). Wire entry is perpendicular to the screws. They are available in configurations of 2.54, 3.5, 3.81, 5, 5.08, 7.5, 7.62, 10, or 10.16 mm contact centerline spacings.

Side entry wire, angled entry wire, and top entry wire pc board mount terminal blocks (only 5, 5.08, 7.5, and 7.62 mm pitch), as well as the pc board mating header (only 5, 5.08 mm pitch, open–ended, or unshrouded) are stackable end–to–end without loss of centerline. Ease of assembly is facilitated, in most versions, by built–in interlocks on the housing.
