5.08mm 7-Pin Snap Plug Terminal KF2EDGKB-5.08-7P by Generic

Description

Product Overview

The KF2EDGKB-5.08-7P is a precision‑engineered snap‑plug terminal designed for demanding industrial electrical applications. Measuring exactly 5.08 mm between adjacent pins, this single‑row, seven‑pin connector provides a compact footprint while delivering robust mechanical and electrical performance that meets the expectations of modern automation equipment. Constructed from a high‑grade copper alloy, each contact is plated with a thin layer of tin to enhance corrosion resistance, reduce oxidation, and ensure consistent conductivity over the product’s entire service life. The terminal complies with IEC 60947‑1 standards and has been rigorously tested for a rated current of up to 10 A and a voltage rating of 250 V, making it suitable for a wide range of power and signal distribution tasks in both low‑voltage and medium‑voltage environments. Its plug‑in design allows for quick, tool‑free installation, reducing assembly time and minimizing the risk of wiring errors that can lead to costly rework. The compact 5.08 mm pitch enables dense packing on printed circuit boards, terminal blocks, and DIN‑rail mounting panels, which is essential for space‑constrained control cabinets, robotic controllers, and high‑density sensor arrays. The terminal’s robust housing is molded from a flame‑retardant polymer that meets UL94 V‑0 fire safety requirements, providing an extra layer of protection in harsh environments where fire resistance is a critical concern. In addition to its electrical characteristics, the terminal features a low insertion force of less than 1 N, a secure locking mechanism that prevents accidental disengagement, and a clear labeling system that aids in rapid identification during maintenance. The product is supplied as a single piece (1 pcs) and is identified by the part number KF2EDGKB‑5.08‑7P, ensuring easy inventory management and accurate ordering for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators, and distributors worldwide. Extensive environmental testing, including humidity, vibration, and salt‑fog exposure, confirms the terminal’s suitability for marine and offshore installations, while compliance with RoHS directives guarantees an environmentally responsible solution.

Usage

This snap‑plug terminal is ideally suited for a variety of industrial settings where reliable, repeatable connections are critical to system uptime and safety. It is commonly used in programmable logic controller (PLC) modules, motor control centers, distributed control systems, sensor interfaces, and instrumentation panels where space is at a premium and fast, secure connections are required. The 5.08 mm pitch aligns perfectly with standard DIN‑rail mounting systems, allowing seamless integration into existing wiring harnesses and panel layouts without the need for custom adapters or additional hardware. Engineers appreciate the terminal’s ability to accommodate both solid and stranded wire sizes ranging from 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm², providing flexibility for power, grounding, and signal lines across a broad spectrum of applications. In addition to traditional factory automation, the terminal performs well in renewable energy installations, such as solar inverter panels, wind turbine control units, and battery management systems, where vibration resistance, temperature stability, and long‑term durability are essential. Its low insertion force and secure locking mechanism make it a preferred choice for field service technicians who need to replace or upgrade components quickly without specialized tools, thereby reducing service time and labor costs. The terminal also meets the requirements of harsh environments, including temperature ranges from –40 °C to +85 °C, exposure to dust, occasional moisture, and mechanical shock, ensuring dependable operation in outdoor substations, marine applications, and mobile equipment. For applications that demand high reliability, the terminal can be paired with protective devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, and surge protectors, creating a comprehensive protection strategy that safeguards both the terminal and the connected circuitry. Installation guidelines recommend stripping the wire to a length of 3 mm, inserting the conductor fully into the contact slot, and confirming the audible click of the latch, which together guarantee a consistent and low‑resistance connection throughout the product’s lifespan.
