JST introduces the TBX Connector, a screwless terminal block suitable for large current applications.

The thermoplastic resin housing block has two retainers on the top, which eliminate the need for screws to hold the terminal in place, and the problem with open connections from loose screws.

The retainer is released by prising open with a flat headed screwdriver. Each end of the housing has two slots (four per block) where the JST crimped Ring Terminal (R8-5) is inserted. The terminal is inserted into an internal copper conductive plate/presser spring, and is locked into place by simply pushing the retainer down. Opening the retainer with the screwdriver, and gently pulling the cable can easily remove the terminal.

Offering a current rating of 40A when using a wire size of 8AWG (8mm2). Depending on use and purpose, branching up to three cables can be achieved per housing. Each single housing can be connected together to create multiple blocks, these can be fixed on to a PCB by mounting on to a panel lock and secured with mounting screws(M4).
