Latch Terminals - 5mm Pitch (3-Pin)

This 3-pin Latch Terminal from Sparkfun offers a convenient and reliable solution for your electrical connections. With a 5mm pitch, the pins are perfectly spaced to align with the standard 4.83mm spacing. Each pin can handle up to 250V @ 11A, making it a robust choice for various applications. The terminals, made from tin-plated brass, are designed to accept 18-22AWG wire. The pins have an outer diameter of 1.20mm, which may require an increase in hole diameter on some boards. The terminal can operate in a wide temperature range from -55°C to +100°C.

This Latch Terminal is ideal for those who prefer a tool-less approach, as it eliminates the need for a screwdriver. The latch mechanism ensures a secure connection, reducing the risk of loose wires and potential short circuits. The 5mm pitch provides ample space for easy wire insertion and removal, making it suitable for projects that require frequent changes.

One of the standout features of this Latch Terminal is its tin-plated brass terminals. This material not only ensures optimal electrical conductivity but also offers excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance. The ability to accommodate 18-22AWG wire makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications, from hobbyist projects to professional installations.

The Latch Terminal's operational temperature range of -55°C to +100°C makes it suitable for use in a variety of environments. Whether you're working in a cold storage facility or a hot server room, this terminal is designed to maintain its performance.
