FL 8-00-XX Product Diagram
Featuring an 8.25mm center space (balancing wire capacity and space efficiency) and a 300V AC/DC, 8A rating, it operates across a temperature range of -40℃ to 105℃—ideal for general-purpose wiring like HVAC controls, small appliances, and office equipment. Constructed with UL94 V-0 flame-retardant PA66 insulation (12mm width) and tin-plated brass terminals, it balances durability with cost efficiency, while its 3000V surge voltage resistance protects against common power spikes. With a wire range of 22–14 AWG (covering most standard wires) and modular pole design (2P to 8P), the PS-8-XX-00 is a "one-size-fits-most" solution—avoiding the need to stock multiple terminal types for diverse applications. Its user-friendly installation features (color-coded poles, clear torque markings) make it suitable for both professional electricians and DIY enthusiasts.
Standard PA66 Insulation: 12mm-wide PA66 thermoplastic with UL94 V-0 flame retardancy fits into most enclosures (e.g., HVAC control boxes, appliance casings). The material resists mild chemicals and heat, making it suitable for both indoor and semi-outdoor use.
Tin-Plated Brass Terminals: Tin-plated brass terminals offer a balance of conductivity (＜0.0015Ω per terminal) and corrosion resistance (tested to 500 hours of salt spray per ASTM B117). Tin plating prevents "green oxidation" in humid environments, ensuring long-term connectivity.
Color-Coded Poles: Molded color stripes (red for power, blue for neutral, green for ground) on the insulation simplify wire identification, reducing installation errors—critical for DIY or less experienced users.
8A/300V Rating: Fits universal applications like 120V AC HVAC fan controls (6A), 24V DC small appliance motors (5A), or 12V DC office equipment power lines (3A). The rating covers 80% of common low-power wiring needs.
Surge Protection: Withstands 3000V transient spikes, shielding devices from household or office power fluctuations (e.g., from air conditioner startups or thunderstorms).
Error-Resistant Design: The terminal’s clamping mechanism accepts both solid and stranded wires without adapters, and clear torque markings (4 lbf·in max) on the screws prevent over-tightening.
Wire Compatibility: Accepts 22–14 AWG wires, covering standard control wires (22 AWG for HVAC sensors) and small power wires (14 AWG for appliances). This eliminates the need for wire adapters or multiple terminal sizes.
Tool Compatibility: Works with standard flathead or Phillips screwdrivers (no specialized tools required). The 8.25mm center space aligns with common PCB and panel hole patterns, simplifying retrofits.
Mounting Flexibility: Fits 4.0mm PCB holes or 4.2mm aluminum panel holes, using M3 steel mounting screws (included). The terminal’s base has pre-marked mounting points for easy alignment.
Supports 2P to 8P configurations, with total length calculated as L = 8.25mm × Poles. A 4P setup (33mm total length) fits into 35mm-wide enclosures, common in HVAC control panels, while an 8P setup (66mm total length) works for multi-circuit appliance wiring.
Residential & Light Commercial HVAC: Connects power and signal wires for thermostat modules, fan controls, and damper actuators (e.g., 120V AC/6A fan motors). Color-coded poles simplify wiring, and surge protection safeguards against HVAC startup spikes.
Air Handling Units (AHUs): Used in small AHU sensor wiring (e.g., temperature, humidity) and auxiliary motor power lines (24V DC/5A). The 8.25mm center space simplifies wire routing in AHU control boxes.
Household Appliances: Integrates into washing machines, refrigerators, and microwave ovens (control circuits, not main power). Tin-plated terminals resist humidity in laundry rooms or kitchens, and UL94 V-0 insulation meets appliance safety standards.
Office Equipment: Powers printers, copiers, and server racks (low-power auxiliary circuits, e.g., 12V DC fan controls). The modular design adapts to multi-circuit office equipment, and color coding reduces maintenance time.
Small Manufacturing Tools: Used in bench grinders, drill presses, and small conveyor systems (control circuits). The user-friendly design makes it suitable for workshop environments, and 8A capacity handles tool auxiliary motors.
DIY Electronics: Ideal for home automation projects (e.g., custom smart lighting controls) or robotics kits. Clear torque markings and color coding simplify assembly for DIY enthusiasts, while surge protection safeguards against test bench power fluctuations.
Its universality stems from three features: 1) 8A/300V rating covering most medium-low current needs (HVAC, appliances, office equipment); 2) 22–14 AWG wire compatibility (fits standard wires); 3) Modular 2P–8P configurations adapting to single-circuit (e.g., fan control) or multi-circuit (e.g., appliance control) systems.
No. Household outlets typically require 15A/120V or 20A/240V ratings—exceeding the PS-8-XX-00’s 8A capacity. Use it for low-power control circuits (e.g., outlet GFCI sensors) instead of main power wiring.
Red: Power (hot) wires
Blue: Neutral wires
Green: Ground wires
Color coding is optional but recommended for compliance with electrical codes (e.g., NEC in the US, IEC in Europe) and to simplify troubleshooting.
