Pluggable Terminal Blocks Handle High Current

The EuroMax interconnects are a two-piece pluggable terminal-block system capable of handling 85A per circuit at 600V. Available in horizontal plug and right-angle header versions, it is a redundant parallel contact system. All hardware components are made of copper-based alloys to optimize thermal compatibility, and are enclosed in a high-temperature housing. The header blade has three PCB tails for printed circuit board connections. A built-in screwdriver slot on circuit counts greater than four eases de-plugging. The interconnects are available in two to ten circuits and up to eight circuits for a version with optional mounting ends for added security. Pricing ranges from $2 to $3 each depending on volume, circuit size and style. MOLEX INC., Lisle, IL. (603) 524-5101.
