Snap I/O V200-18-E4XB

Hello, i'm using 18-E4XB with standart (straight) terminal blocks and i want to switch them to corner terminal blocks

Is there any documentation where i can find correct contact pitch so i don't mess up when i buy corner terminal blocks?

I asked a similar question ages ago when I was stripping threads out with minimal force. 

All the answers are here:

As usual with Pheonix, the myriad they have makes it hard to find the exact match.  I've always gone on 5mm pitch and this one:

MSTB 2,5/10-ST - 1754601

I gave up trying to find a connector that exactly matched the 17.3mm on the originals of what Pheonix call Length.  Someone else may have.

The 5mm pitch as against 5.08 can be a PITA at times.  I have a number of different gizmos that look to use the same plug, but closer inspection with verniers shows they aren't.

cheers, Aus

Further to this, Simon alerted me to what he uses, which is here:

He also mentioned very fine print incorporated into the moulding on the ends.  On some of my originals I have actually have "-5.0 2EDGK DEGSON" imprinted onto them.  So perhaps the Phoenix usage is not completely correct.  I think it's clearly a case of if something is rated ok, matches pitch and style and suits your use, then it will do the job!

Thanks Simon for the input.

cheers, Aus
