Terminal Block Socket Socket SPOX EB268309317 5.08 mm Pitch 4‑Pin Through‑Hole

Socket SPOX EB268309317 is a 4-pin through-hole terminal block socket with a 5.08 mm pitch designed to provide a secure interface between pluggable terminal blocks and printed circuit boards. The socket supports reliable mating for removable screw or spring terminal blocks, offering a practical solution for control panels, industrial electronics and prototyping applications where straightforward wiring and easy replacement of modules are required.

Advantages

This 4-pin through-hole socket ensures stable electrical contact and mechanical retention for pluggable terminal blocks on the PCB. Its 5.08 mm pitch matches common industrial terminal block spacing, enabling compatibility with a wide range of mating connectors. The through-hole design offers strong soldered joints suitable for environments with mechanical stress or vibration, and the compact footprint helps keep board layout efficient while allowing quick disconnection and replacement of field wiring components.

Suitable for

• Control panels and automation equipment
• Industrial and power electronics assemblies
• Prototyping and development boards requiring pluggable connections
• Serviceable systems where fast module replacement is needed

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 4 electrical positions (4 pins)
• Pitch: 5.08 mm between adjacent pins
• Mounting type: through-hole PCB mount for soldered connection
• Connection style: socket for pluggable terminal blocks (mating type)
• Material and finish: typical plated contacts and insulating housing for electrical insulation and corrosion resistance

How to use

Place the socket on the PCB following the board layout with 5.08 mm pin spacing and solder the through-hole pins to form reliable mechanical and electrical joints. After soldering, mate the corresponding pluggable terminal block onto the socket to establish wiring connections; the socket allows quick removal of the terminal block for maintenance or replacement. Ensure correct orientation during assembly so that pin mapping matches the circuit design.

Usage recommendations

For robust performance, use solder processes compatible with the socket housing material and verify solder fillets for full leads. Match the socket with compatible pluggable terminal blocks rated for the same current and voltage, and avoid exceeding specified electrical ratings. When used in vibration-prone environments, confirm mechanical retention and consider additional securing methods for the mating connector if required.
