Male connector, 231 Series, with 5 mm pin spacing Enjoy fault-free electrical installations with this male connector (item number 231-616). Ensure that the strip lengths are between 8 and 9 mm when connecting conductors to this male connector. Featuring one conductor terminal along with CAGE CLAMP®, this connector outperforms the competition. Our reliable and maintenance-free CAGE CLAMP® connection makes it easy to connect all types of conductors without having to prepare the conductor. For example, you don't need to crimp ferrules. Dimensions: (83.2 x 14.3 x 27.5) mm (width x height x depth). Depending on the conductor type, this male connector is ideal for conductor cross sections ranging from 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm². Tin is used for coating the contact surfaces. Page 1/9 Version 25.05.2026 Continued on next page
