SECTION A - SERIES 94 AND SERIES 95
Terminal Blocks for Printed Circuit Boards
Series 94 and 95 are among the smallest available connectors in the 5 mm (0.2 in.) spacing and are
designed to save precious real estate on the printed circuit board. The Series 94 has 0.2 in. spacing
and a rounded top the Series 95 has 5 mm metric spacing and has a slightly lower flat top design to
provide visual and tactile differentiation between the two series and helps prevent inventory errors.
These blocks are available in solid 2-32 pole lengths as well as in the dovetail version (-T) with 2
and 3 poles per block which can be installed end-to-end to provide the needed number of poles
while maintaining the center-to-center distance. The dovetail system allows them to be assembled
together in the desired combination greatly reducing inventory and speeding up delivery.
The copper alloy tin-plated wire protector (-DS) option is recommended as it provides protection to
stranded wires from the clamping screw. This series is end-to-end stackable while maintaining the
needed spacing. Wire protectors are not required if solid wire is used this allows easier wire
insertion.
For the 9 to 32 pole version, molding are fiberglass-filled polyamide to provide longitudinal
rigidity while maintaining the UL 94 V-0 rating this also allows higher process temperature limits.
Terminal blocks with wire entry parallel to the circuit board have been designed with standoffs to
allow flux and solvents to drain during flow soldering operations.
Each product has a "How To Order" area as well as a complete listing of UL and CSA approval
specifications, available options and accessories.
