15KN plugs combine straight-through spring wire connections with a single row of pluggable contacts. Individual release buttons operate the spring clamps. Select the plain 15KN, screw-fixed 15KNM or lever-locking 15KNG in 3.5mm or 3.81mm pitch. The 3.5mm 15KN-LD has a separate body configuration and wire range.

Specify the full model and pitch, followed by a two-digit pole count from 02P to 24P and the required color. The TB01 prefix identifies 3.5mm pitch and TB13 identifies 3.81mm pitch.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Model and suffix | 15KN plain, 15KNM screw-fixed, 15KNG lever-locking, or 15KN-LD in the listed pitch |
| XXP | 02P–24P |
| Color digit | 1 grey; 2 blue; 3 black; 4 green; 5 orange; 6 red; 7 transparent; 8 yellow; 9 white |
| Standard code | 0A |
| Shared screw fields | Head: 0 slot, 1 cross; direction: 0 screw down, 1 screw up. These generic fields do not change the spring wire connection or add screws to plain and lever-locking models. |
N is the pole count. The plain plugs have 7.8mm body thickness, 21.9mm overall axial length and a 20mm axial reference excluding the release-button projection.
| Model | Body width across poles | Contact span |
|---|---|---|
| TB01-15KN/3.5 | [3.5N+0.7]mm, equivalent to [3.5(N−1)+4.2]mm | 3.5(N−1)mm |
| TB13-15KN/3.81 | [3.81(N−1)+4.20]mm | 3.81(N−1)mm |
The 3.5mm drawing specifies a 2.1mm end-to-contact reference. The LD version has a separate construction; the plain KN outlines below do not define its dimensions.
KNM versions retain the 7.8mm body thickness, 21.9mm overall axial length and 20mm axial reference. Each fixing block projects 4.8mm from the main body. The width formulas below measure the contact body and exclude these end fixing blocks.
| Model | Contact body width | Contact span | Fixing-block projection per end |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB01-15KNM/3.5 | [3.5(N−1)+4.2]mm | 3.5(N−1)mm | 4.8mm |
| TB13-15KNM/3.81 | [3.81(N−1)+4.20]mm | 3.81(N−1)mm |
| Model | Contact body width | Contact span | Lever allowance per end | Other references |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TB01-15KNG/3.5 | [3.5(N−1)+4.20]mm | 3.5(N−1)mm | 5mm reference | 21.9mm axial length; 7.8mm section thickness; 6.5mm lever-end reference; 2.1mm end-to-contact reference |
| TB13-15KNG/3.81 | [3.81(N−1)+4.20]mm | 3.81(N−1)mm | 21.9mm overall axial reference; 20mm axial reference; 7.5mm lever width |
The A and B lever views show opposite ends of the plug. Keep clearance for the levers when planning the connector location.
