Sharing core electrical specifications with the FE 1.5-5.08-03-XX—including a 5.08mm center space, 300V/15A rating, and **-40℃ to 105℃ temperature range—it stands out with unique dimensional features, such as a maximum length (L) of 20.00mm and a 2.54mm offset for optimized spacing. This design makes it ideal for compact equipment where installation space is limited. Like its counterpart, it features UL94 V-0 flame-retardant PA66 insulation, brass terminals, and M3 steel screws, ensuring compliance with global safety standards. Whether used in dense control panels or miniaturized electronics, the FE 1.5-5.08-03-XX delivers consistent connectivity without sacrificing space.
Optimized Dimensions: Boasts key measurements like 18.30mm base length, 20.00mm maximum length (L), and a 2.54mm offset between terminals. These dimensions fit into tight enclosures (e.g., small PLC modules or portable devices) where larger terminal blocks would not fit.
Precision Spacing: The 5.08mm center space aligns with standard PCB layouts, while the 1.00mm ±0.50mm tolerance ensures compatibility with pre-drilled mounting holes, reducing assembly time.
Consistent Power Handling: Rated for 300V and 15A, with 4000V surge voltage protection to shield against electrical transients. This matches the performance of the FE 1.5-5.08-03-XX, making it a drop-in replacement for space-constrained upgrades.
Flame-Retardant Insulation: PA66 insulation meets UL94 V-0 standards, preventing fire spread in case of electrical faults—a critical feature for consumer electronics and industrial control systems.
Wire Compatibility: Accepts 30–14 AWG wires, covering both thin signal wires (e.g., 30 AWG for sensors) and thicker power wires (e.g., 14 AWG for small motors).
Secure Screw Clamping: M3 steel screws require 5 lbf·in of torque, ensuring tight wire connections without damaging components. The screws’ rust resistance maintains stability in humid environments.
Supports 2P, 3P, or custom pole configurations, with total length calculated as L = 5.08mm × Poles. This adaptability allows it to fit diverse circuit designs, from 2-wire power connections to 4-wire sensor arrays.
Consumer Electronics: Used in portable devices like medical monitors, portable printers, and home automation hubs. Its compact size fits inside slim device casings, while flame retardancy meets consumer safety standards.
Instrumentation: Integrates into test equipment (e.g., digital multimeters, oscilloscopes) and laboratory devices. The precise spacing ensures compatibility with miniaturized circuit boards, while surge protection safeguards sensitive measurement components.
Automotive Electronics: Suitable for in-vehicle systems like infotainment units or sensor modules (e.g., temperature sensors for engine bays). The -40℃ to 105℃ temperature range withstands extreme cabin and engine compartment temperatures.
Compact PLC modules (e.g., Allen-Bradley Micro800 series) with limited terminal space.
Portable medical devices (e.g., blood glucose monitors) that require safe, small-footprint wiring.
LED lighting controllers for residential or commercial use, where space inside junction boxes is limited.
The key difference is mechanical: the EMD 1.5-XX-5.08-03 has a shorter maximum length (20.00mm vs. the FE 1.5-5.08-03-XX’s variable length) and a 2.54mm offset for tighter spacing. Electrical specifications (voltage, current, surge protection) are identical. Choose the 03 model for compact equipment.
Yes. Its -40℃ to 105℃ temperature range withstands the high heat of engine bays (typically up to 100℃) and cold winter temperatures. However, ensure it is installed in a sealed enclosure to protect against oil, dust, and moisture.
The 2.54mm offset creates extra clearance between adjacent wires, reducing the risk of short circuits when multiple terminals are installed side-by-side. This is critical in dense control panels where wires are tightly packed.
No. TheFE 1.5-5.08-03-XX includes M3 steel screws for wire clamping but not for mounting to a panel or PCB. Use M2 or M3 mounting screws (depending on your equipment) that fit the terminal’s base holes.
Yes. The terminal block’s height is not specified, but its maximum length (20.00mm) and compact design make it suitable for 10mm deep enclosures. Ensure there is 2–3mm of clearance above the screws for easy installation.
