140-A-126-SMD/02 - 

140-A-126-SMD is an elevator style 5 mm pitch terminal block suitable for SMT (surface mount technology) applications. Flat contact leads provide a large surface area for reliable solder joints. The solder retention devices (SMT anchors) provide high retention force for the terminal block to the PCB. The SMT anchors being mobile within the plastic housing (floating) they ensure a total adaptation to the planar variations of the PCB. This adds to the retention force of the connector to the PCB meanwhile eliminating the CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) mismatch. The most significant benefit of this design is the protection it provides to the solder joints against stresses encountered in field-installations. Material will handle reflow temperatures well without deforming or melting. Product packaging is suitable to pick place automated assembly.
