Quick Reference Guide
Euro Style Terminal Blocks
Euro Style terminal block connectors feature various wire termination methods including rising cage clamp,
wire protector, spring, IDC and crimp snap. The design of terminal block connectors consists of one-piece
board mount terminal blocks and two-piece plug connectors with mating straight and right angle shrouded
headers. A special version — which can be mated either 90° or 180° — completes the product line. Board
mount connectors, as well as pc board plugs and headers, are stackable end-to-end without loss of centerline
spacing. Ease of assembly is facilitated by built-in interlocks on the housings. Pre-assembled products can
be delivered upon request. Adhesive labels are available to number the cavities. Customer specific labeling is
also available upon request.

Wire Termination Technologies
Leg Spring
Intended for use
in more rugged
applications such
as instrumentation,
industrial controls, data
acquisition, security
& alarm, and HVAC
products. Provides for
faster wire termination
than screw versions.
Insulation
Displacement
Intended for
use in industrial
communications and
control applications
such as analog or serial
communications using
22-24 awg wire. Pivot
block plug mates with
3.5mm horizontal and
vertical terminal block
headers.
Crimp Style
A terminal block
plug that utilizes
an insertable crimp
snap contact for wire
termination. This
plug will mate to
standard headers on
5.08mm. Intended for
use in higher volume
applications. Used in
conjunction with junior
power timer contacts.
Rising Cage
Intended for use
in more rugged
applications, such as
industrial controls,
data acquisition and
communications
products, where
multiple wire
terminations are
required. Available
in one piece and two
piece configurations.
Wire Protector
Version
Recommended for
low cost commercial
applications. Intended
for use in lighter
duty or commercial
applications such as
security and alarm
systems or HVAC
controls. Prevents the
screw from damaging
the wire!
Front Style
Screw Clamp
The key feature of this
style of terminal block
plug is that the wire
entry cavity and the
activating screw head
are on the same plane
which is parallel to the
plug in direction. This
will mate with vertical
and right angle headers.

Options for your Connections
Packaging Options
TE uses tape-on-reel packaging. This packaging makes
it possible for customers to use automated pick and
place equipment. Tape on reel may be used with high
temp products designed for through-hole reflow (THR)
applications. Contact your TE terminal blocks team for
specific details on other packaging options such as tubes
and trays.
Printing Options
Printing is a very common request that gives an end user
the ability to identify circuits. The printing is permanent
and is typically done in either black or white.
Color Options
With Euro Style terminal blocks, you have the option of
choosing the color of your product. This may benefit
you by helping with organization and identification of
your pieces. Many color options are available and will
generally have only a minimal effect on lead times and
minimum order quantities.
