New SMD terminal block connectors offer screwless terminals and push-button release

New Yorker Electronics has added the new RoHS-compliant Excel Cell Electronics (ECE) EBTL40 series of terminal block connectors to its lighting division. The series features SMD terminals with low inserting force cage clamps, push wire-release buttons and a time-saving screwless design. The series was designed for easy handling with a compact design. It can connect to LED strip lights, making it ideal for use in LED lighting and industrial electronics. There are versions with one, two and three poles, all with wire range capacities of 24AWG to 18AWG. They have a long wire insulation design and a stripping length of 7mm to 8mm. They can be used in applications requiring an easy-to-use wire insertion/extraction method. Connections are exceptionally reliable, housed in fire-retardant plastic with a dual-contact, gate-style terminal design. The terminals are tin plated over nickel alloy and the springs are made of stainless steel. They are also UL approved and boast an insulation resistance of 50Mohm with a 500VDC and a dielectric strength of 2.5KVAC (min).
