Description

"Printed circuit board connectors from WECO have won the North American electronics industry market due to their comprehensive range of models and variants, certification and approval according to VDE, UL and CSA. The company also offers customized design of connectors, produced at their Kirkland, Québec, production facility.Weco 300 Family — 302 Series type STB-DS | Terminal Strips for Panel / Chassis Mounting:Weco's 300 Family of Series terminal strips are designed to provide a secure wire clamping termination that meets all applicable European standards. The use of a shrouded molding design as well as captive screws are part of a ""finger-safe"" Euro-style design. As manufacturers globalize their product lines, they are simplifying their inventory by making products that use termination systems that are acceptable everywhere.The strips are available with stainless steel spring-type wire protectors (HDS designation) to prevent wiring damage by the clamping screws we recommend the use of the wire protector option especially for stranded wiring. The HDS option provides high resistance to vibrations. The 300 series provides long lasting, vibration-resistant terminations for current loads of up to 85A.Some of the series carry an N designation indicating they have a lower profile when space is a concern. The FU designation provides a raised base that facilitates wire insertion under cramped conditions. The relatively flexible polyamide molding can be mounted on uneven surfaces the North American style barrier strips are usually made of a more rigid and brittle thermoset material.Features:
  • The -STS male plugs and -STB female sockets are slotted to provide a spring-like connection with higher insertion force than the -SV/-FB mating pair. This type of connector also facilitates testing and servicing when many connection cycles are likely to be encountered.
  • Socket
  • Standard version
  • Recommended mounting hardware: M2.5 pan head
  • Screw (#3-48 pan head screw) or similar sized sheet metal screw, self-tapping screw or rivet
  • Terminal Body: Tin plated copper alloy
  • Screw: Slotted head, zinc plated blue passivated, steel substrate M2.6Applications:
  • Whether panel, chassis, printed circuit or wire harness mounted, the 300 series terminal blocks are robust and versatile assets to complement your wiring needs. Male or female plugs can be on the wire harness or they can be on the panel, chassis or PCB. Male and female components can be adjusted for ""connect ground first"" type configurations where one of the components male or female is extended forward more than the other poles. Configurations with both male and female components can be designed to mate their appropriate counterparts. Plug in directions and wire entries can be oriented almost any way possible with respect to the mounting surface. Insertion and extraction forces can be optimized for ease of use or for robustness to vibrations by utilizing different available models and sizes. All are designed to assured stable electrical conductivity heat dissipation and repeated cycles of use. They can be specially marked to your specifications.
  • The screw tightened connections result in high contact forces thus promoting safe wire secureness and retention, low electrical resistance and safe reusable connections. All wire retention screws are captive in their towers and they cannot fall out during transportation, installation and use. Wire protectors are available to protect small gauge stranded wires from screw damage."''
