2-Pin Screw Terminal Block
Compact Wire Connector for PCB and Prototyping Projects
The 2pin screw terminal block is a reliable PCBmounted connector for secure, temporary wire connections. It provides a solid electrical junction for sensor wiring, motor controllers, and power distribution without soldering [citation:1][citation:5][citation:9].
Reliable Screw Connection - Tension sleeve ensures maximum contact force, minimizing temperature rise [citation:1].
SpaceSaving Compact Design Enables high-density connections on circuit boards [citation:1][citation:9].
Rated for 12-28 AWG wire sizes depending on pitch variant [citation:1][citation:5].
For permanent installations, strip 7mm of wire insulation before insertion [citation:7].
Do not exceed the current rating to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting
Intermittent connection:
- Tighten the screw to ensure the stripped wire is firmly clamped.
- Check for loose solder joints on the PCB.
- Ensure wire gauge is within the allowed AWG range [citation:1][citation:5].
No conductivity:
- Verify the correct wire strip length (~7mm) [citation:7].
- Ensure the screw is not fully tightened onto insulation.
