|---|---|---|---|---|
| TB38-16S/A | Straight, offset pins | Extended A ends | M2.5 | 0.4N·m |
| TB38-16S/B | Compact B ends | |||
| TB38-16R/B | Side-projecting pins |
The stated general IEC rating is 17.5A at 300V for all three models. The additional condition-specific ratings below apply only to the named models. A dash indicates an unspecified condition or value.
