1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of Low Profile Terminal Block Assemblies. The
assembly is designed to be mounted to the chassis of a household appliance such as an electric range. The
assembly consists of a housing, 6 hex--head screws, 3 clamp blocks, and an optional link. The assembly will
accept ring tongue and open spade terminals sized for M6 and 10--32 screws, and will operate at 300 volts AC
maximum. This assembly will also accept stripped wire without terminals.
When corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to help
facilitate your inquiry for information. Basic terms and features of components are provided in Figure 1.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the housing
material.
B. Shelf Life
The components should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that could
adversely affect electrical continuity.
C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store contacts near any chemicals listed below.
Alkalies
Amines
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfides Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
3.2. Wire Selection and Preparation
NOTE
i
If using ring tongue or open spade terminals, refer to Application Specifications 114--2084, 114--2161, or 114--2162 for
contact crimp information, termination requirements, and recommended tooling. If using stripped wire without
terminals, refer to Paragraph 3.2.A and B and see Figure 2.
A. Wire Selection
The clamp blocks will accept stranded copper wire sizes 6 through 10 AWG, solid copper wire size 10
AWG, and compact stranded aluminum wire sizes 4 through 8 AWG. Wire insulation maximum diameters
shall be 9.5 mm [.375 in.]. Aluminum wire to conform with requirements of ASTM B800.
B. Wire Preparation
The wire strip length shall be 12.7 +1.6 mm [.500 +.063 in.].
CAUTION
DO NOT nick, scrape, or cut the wire conductor during the stripping operation. Wire to be tarnish--free, and attached to
clamp block immediately after being stripped.

NOTE
When selecting a location for the assembly, the wire bend radius specified by the wire manufacturer must be
considered. Also, to permit attachment of the wire, there should be sufficient slack between the wire end and any
strain relief.

B. Attaching Mounting Hardware
Any commercially available hardware such as sheet--metal screws, bolts and nuts, rivets or other
hardware that is compatible with the mounting plane or housing may be used to secure the assembly.
3.4. Terminal and Wire Application
The connecting wire can be attached to the terminal block assembly as bare wire or with a terminal attached.
For use of terminals with the wire, refer to Application Specifications 114--2084, 114--2161, or 114--2162. See
Figure 4 for terminal size limitations to be used with the Low Profile Terminal Block Assembly.

A. Terminals
Figure 5 provides a composite of the various termination techniques. The assembly procedures for all
techniques are covered by the following procedures:
1. After the terminal has been correctly crimped to the wire, decide which clamp block is to be used.
2. Remove the clamp block hex head screw if necessary so that the crimped terminal may be placed in
the correct position.
3. Once the crimped terminal has been positioned on top of the clamp block, insert the hex head screw
back into the hole and tighten to 2.3 N--m [20 in.--lbs].
4. Electrically attaching the appliance through the center/neutral position with the link is optional. Use
any commercially available hardware such as sheet--metal screws, bolts and nuts, rivets or other
hardware that is compatible with the mounting plane.
B. Bare Wire
1. Strip the wire to the correct length according to the dimensions given in Paragraph 3.2.B.
2. Decide which clamp block is to be used.
3. Loosen the clamp block screw to allow clearance for the wire conductors to be inserted into the hole
in the front of the clamp block.
4. Insert the stripped wire until the insulation is flush with the clamp block face.
5. Once the bare wire has been positioned in the clamp block, tighten the hex head screw on top of the
clamp block to 4.0 N--m [35 in.--lbs].
NOTE
If the wire is removed, cut--off the exposed conductor, and re--strip before re--attachment.
i
6. Electrically attaching the appliance through the center/neutral position with the link is optional. Use
any commercially available hardware such as sheet--metal screws, bolts and nuts, rivets or other
hardware that is compatible with the mounting plane.
