282857-2 is a Euro Style terminal block connector designed for wire termination in industrial control and instrumentation applications. This product features a rising cage clamp termination method with 3.5/3.81mm centerline spacing, supporting a maximum current rating of 10 amperes and voltage rating of 300 volts. The connector is available in both standard (105°C) and high-temperature (260°C) versions, with options for closed-end or open-end configurations and single-level stacking capability. The rising cage design allows for multiple wire insertions and removals, making it suitable for rugged applications such as industrial controls, data acquisition, and communications products. Board mount connectors are stackable end-to-end without loss of centerline spacing, and the design includes built-in interlocks on housings for ease of assembly.
