PCB terminals
Customized colouring
Our focus is your custom-fit solution
Pin lengths optimized for the process
The detachable direct connection between the wire and the PCB, offering: ß Reliable performance up to 1,000 V and over 100 A at 40° C ß Six clamping ranges in 11 pitch sizes ß Three wire-outlet directions, in single or multiple rows ß All standard connection systems, from clamping yoke to PUSH IN ß More features available such as THR-processing or ATEX certification
Colour is a simple yet influential element of design. It allows you to better structure, integrate, design or label the connection area. With their diverse selection of colouring options, our components will adapt to your application:
Weidmüller’s products and services are designed with one goal in mind – perfection. No more and no less than this.
Choose the ideal pin length, based on engineering requirements and process parameters, including:
PCB connectors
Clear labelling
Application-oriented plating systems
Our connection solutions are designed with the user and application in mind – providing you with more security, innovation and design freedom. This includes: ß Maintenance-free connections, from mA to high-range currents ß 36 connections in 3.5-mm pitch, up to 1,000 V in 10.16-mm pitch ß A variable connection design: including a 0.5-mm2 IDC bus, 6-mm2 spring connection, and 16-mm2 clamping yoke ß Reflow processing and rail mounting
Providing for smooth installation and quick repairs:
You can also specify the proper contact surface for your application with a simple mouse click. Select based on electrical parameters or:
ß Flexible layout for an applications-based label (e.g., position, alignment, colour and size of characters) ß Including sharp-contoured special characters and symbols ß Three methods depending on your requirements: ß Pad printing, inkjet labelling, and adhesive system

Electronic housings
Distinctive coding
Selective equipped assembly
Our portfolio is being consistently and resolutely developed and expanded; this ensures a bright future for electronic applications of all designs and types. The consistent synergy between design, connection methods, and functionality – this builds the perfect foundation for electronics and guarantees that they are designed with the market and the application in mind. Solutions are available in IP20 with built-in or external housings, or for IP68 environments.
So that only those components which belong together fit together: Take advantage of our systematic connector or PCB coding systems: ß Flexible: individual manual coding in the process or on-site ß Smart: pre-assembled coding from the factory, fit to your requirements ß Efficient: pre-formed coding with large quantities
Extend the clearance and creepage distances with a check box – partial assembly with metal components and contacts is simple and: ß Saves space: smaller dimensions than a large pitch ß Efficient: different voltage ranges in one component ß Smart: same interface for processing and maintenance ß Cost-efficient: possible to use lower performance classes
Individual services
Process-compatible packaging
Design-in partnership with Weidmüller – more than just contacts
Application-specific development
The comprehensive services, as described in detail on the following pages, are a perfect supplement to the basic portfolio – simple and quick to configure and tailor-made for your individual requirements. Benefit from our decades of experience and innovative technologies.
