Description

Three screw terminal configurations

The 16 series has one row of screw connections at a 6.35mm pitch. Each model supports 2–24 poles and 22–16AWG wire. S models have straight solder pins below the housing; R/B has pins projecting from the side. The A housing extends beyond the terminal positions, while B housings have compact ends.

Outline and PCB dimensions

Dimensions below are in mm. N is the number of poles; the 16S/A pin-span annotation uses P for the same pole count. All three housings are 14mm deep and 12.7mm high. Use the exact model drawing: pin thickness, solder-tail length and PCB hole shape differ.

16S/A terminal dimensions
16S/A with extended housing ends, straight offset pins and Ø1.60mm PCB holes. The drawing gives overall and central body lengths; fixing-hole dimensions are not specified.
16S/B terminal dimensions
16S/B has compact ends, 4.80±0.30mm straight tails and 1.50×1.20mm oval PCB holes. The 5.20mm annotation spans one terminal-cell feature and is not the overall housing-end allowance.
16R/B terminal dimensions
16R/B side pins project 6.08±0.30mm beyond the housing. The 5.80mm height is measured to the lower pin face as drawn; PCB holes are 1.50×1.20mm ovals.
