Altech is pleased to announce a new, more extensive printed circuit board terminal block line.This line offers the standardsingleanddoublelevelfixed and pluggable terminal blocks in met- ric 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.Thisproductassortmentcom- bined with the new pricing structure makes this line extremely competi- tive. Altech printed circuit board terminal blocks give you highly dependable connectionswithouttheneedforwire lugs. Choose either tubular screw clampsorboxclampswheneconomy is paramount or screw-cage clamps for heavy-duty applications. In each case, simply strip and insert the wire and tighten the screw. We recom- mend the use of ferrules, especially for export applications and whenever fine stranded wires must be terminat- ed. Our board mounted terminal blocks meet or exceed most international standards and are accepted world- wide.Theyre available in single, dou- ble and triple level configurations with both, millimeter and inch pin spacings. All leave mini footprints to save valuable real estate.
