SMT Terminal Blocks Cut Manufacturing Cost

Predicting lower production costs by eliminating hand soldering, the MKDS-HT family of one-piece, high-temperature PCB terminal blocks can be integrated into surface-mount manufacturing processes. The blocks are available with pin spacings of 3.5, 3.81, 5 and 5.08 mm and with wire sizes ranging from #30 to #12 AWG. They employ an interlocking dovetail configuration to create a higher number of positions from standard 2- and 3-position blocks.
