2318582-7 BUCHANAN WireMate two-piece poke-in series pluggable terminal block provides designers a three directional solution for wall mounting a device and improve the overall installation experience for the novice installer. Wires are routed through an opening in the wall to TE’s BUCHANAN WireMate connector mounted on a wall plate. The wires are stripped of insulation and easily poked into the terminal block device providing a reliable termination without the need for tooling. Wire extracting is also made easy, with simple levers to release individual wires. The mating header is surface mount attached to the PCB in the device to be mounted on the wall. The two-piece combination allows wall mounting of a device in three different directions; into the wall, along the wall and in a twist or rotating motion. Typical applications are thermostats, smoke detectors, control panels, environmental monitors.
