Altech is pleased to announce a new, more extensive printed circuit board terminal block line. This line offers the standard single and double level fixed and pluggable terminal blocks in metric and US pin spacings. However, this product line goes beyond our past standard offering. There is now a wider array of products within each pin spacing as well as new types of blocks such as 35, reverse horizontal wire entry, and triple level fixed blocks, card edge connectors, panel feed through blocks, barrier strips, and plugs/headers with screw flanges. This product assortment combined with the new pricing structure makes this line extremely competitive. Altech printed circuit board terminal blocks give you highly dependable connections without the need for wire lugs. Choose either tubular screw clamps or box clamps when economy is paramount or screw-cage clamps for heavy-duty applications. In each case, simply strip and insert the wire and tighten the screw. We recommend the use of ferrules, especially for export applications and whenever fine stranded wires must be terminated. Our board mounted terminal blocks meet or exceed most international standards and are accepted worldwide. Theyre available in single, double and triple level configurations with both, millimeter and inch pin spacings. All leave mini footprints to save valuable real estate.

Altech can also supply ready-made assemblies tailored to your specification. Fixed-mount blocks are available with the economical tubular screw, box clamp or the screw-cage clamp and offer several wire entry options to facilitate wiring and increase accessibility. PLUGGABLE The two-piece, plug and header design of our pluggable terminal blocks speed and simplify board replacement and reduce costly downtime and misconnections. No special tools are required. Headers are soldered into the board and accept the MATERIALS plugs, which are easily removed for fast, convenient board or device replacement.

We offer pluggables with either screw-cage clamp termination for heavy duty requirements or with tubular screw termination and open headers for cost sensitive applications. We also offer a card edge connector for a quick, reliable and inexpensive connection. MARKING Altech offers marking to identify terminal inputs.

In the tubular screw and box clamp design, tightening the screw presses the conductor directly against the bottom of the clamp. These systems are ideal for cost sensitive, lighter duty applications or applications with infrequent wire terminations. Wire protectors are standard. Standard color is black for tubular screw and green for box clamp. Altech Corp. 35 Royal Road Flemington, NJ 08822-6000 Phone (908)806-9400 FAX (908)806-9490 www.altechcorp.com 5
