## Description

The 1827169 from APEM is a 6-position pluggable terminal block from the MCVR 1,5/..-ST product family, featuring a 3.81 mm pitch and 90-degree conductor-to-PCB connection orientation. This green PA housing terminal block supports a nominal cross-section of 1.5 mm² (AWG 28–16) with screw connection technology incorporating a tension sleeve for secure conductor retention. Rated for 8 A nominal current and 160 V rated voltage (III/2), the connector achieves 2.5 kV surge voltage withstand and maintains contact resistance of 3.4 mΩ. The hot-dip tin-plated Cu alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical performance across an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C, with V0 flammability rating and 850 °C glow wire flammability index per IEC/EN standards.

Designed for industrial PCB applications, the MCVR 1,5/ 6-ST-3,81 employs the COMBICON MC 1,5 plug-in system without integrated locking, allowing flexible mating with compatible headers. The slotted screw head accepts 0.22–0.25 Nm tightening torque and accommodates dual conductor entry—solid conductors from 0.08–0.5 mm² or flexible conductors up to 0.75 mm²—enabling space-efficient daisy-chain configurations. With dimensions of 23.65 mm width × 19.1 mm height × 10.4 mm length, this single-row socket connector suits high-density layouts in control panels, power supplies, and automation equipment where field-serviceable connections are required.

The terminal block carries cULus Recognized (E60425), CSA (13631), and VDE approvals, ensuring compliance for North American and European deployments. Mechanical durability is validated to 25 insertion/withdrawal cycles with 8 N insertion and 6 N withdrawal forces per position, while vibration testing per IEC 60068-2-6 confirms suitability for demanding industrial environments. The 3.81 mm pitch spacing provides adequate creepage and clearance distances for 160 V overvoltage category III applications, with CTI 600 insulating material group I construction supporting reliable performance in polluted industrial conditions.
