A reliable and safe electrical installation is of crucial importance. Wire connections are a key aspect in ensuring electrical connections that are both long-lasting and efficient. Our extensive product range includes PCB terminal blocks and PCB connectors that ensure reliable connections in a wide range of applications. With innovative connection technologies such as SNAP IN, PUSH IN spring connection technology and clamping yoke screw connection, we offer solutions that combine simplicity, speed and safety.
Thanks to the unique "mouse-trap principle", the SNAP IN connection connects in record time. Handling is as simple as the principle itself: The stripped conductor is plugged directly into an open connection point, and with a click, the snap-in connection snaps into place. The reverse is just as quick: Press the pusher and the connection point re-opens.

SNAP IN - The fastest and safest connection technology on the market. We show you the numerous advantages of the new connection solution developed by Weidmüller. Easy. Fast. Safe. Ready-to-Robot. SNAP INto the future!
Direct plug-in technology allows the fastest wiring process
The stripped or prepared wire is simply pushed into the terminal point as far as it will go and the connection is finished. Operating the release lever is only required with flexible wires or to release the connection. The stainless steel spring ensures a high contact force between wire and the tinned copper busbar. A stainless steel cage enclosure prevents subsidence in the contact area. To prevent any drop in clamping force plastic parts were deliberately not used.

Field of application
The default choice for operation in the field; it permits speedy wiring and, combined with its small size, its intuitive use is also advantageous even in environments with severe vibration.
Most used screw connection in the world
Steel clamping-yokes made by using a stamping and bending process guarantee a vibration proof clamp connection. When the screw on the clamp is tightened, there is a counter effect in the clamping yoke’s threaded area which prevents the connection accidentally loosening. As the screw thread is on an inclined plane, there is a force gain created and a very high clamping force is achieved. Weidmüller uses hardened steel with optimal corrosion protection for stability and security and copper alloys in the contact area for good electrical conductivity.
Customer benefits
Field of application
The standard connection for applications in industrial environments with the highest requirements for reliability even under harsh conditions.
Allows wire insertion and the screw orientation in the same direction
The connection produces the greatest possible packing density in the terminal area. The ”pull effect“ ensures that the connected wire is pulled in to the clamping point producing a secure contact.
Customer benefits
Field of application
Housing design or installation requirements such as PCB slots, that do not allow a right angled screw operation for reasons of space
Affordable solution that is also appropriate for large batch jobs
The crimp contacts can be attached using hand tools or with a crimping machine for producing large batches. The contacts are then locked into the housing provided. For fully automated processing, taped crimp contacts are available.
Customer benefits
Field of application
Applications that combine fully automatic and factory oriented processing steps with the actual field wiring. Works in environments with severe vibration or temperature fluctuations.
Each new design requires specific components in order to achieve optimum results. Our male and female connectors fulfil various requirements on PCBs and in housings. They also offer features that ensure greater security and convenience during installation. The combination of high-quality components and sophisticated designs fulfils the requirements of your applications and improves user-friendliness and safety.
Find the best connectors for your project.
This simplest connector version has no side panels. Open variants can be positioned next to one another without a loss of poles (end-stackable). Two 2-pole connectors can therefore be used to produce one 4-pole connector on the printed circuit board. The end-stackable design is flexible when producing very large numbers of poles on the printed circuit board.
Closed versions are used to prevent the plug being incorrectly inserted and to provide better dust protection. Ideally suited to prevent mismating.
For the classic screw option, each flange is paired with a nut for the screw in the flange plug counterpart.
If you only want to link connectors and plugs with a release latch and don’t want to fix them with a screw, this is the best solution. The clip-on flange provides the plug’s latching hook, with the contour needed to ensure a secure fix, which is easy to release later on.
For some OMNIMATE® Power series, alongside the classic flange versions located externally on the right and left of the male and female connectors, we also provide an innovative middle flange with a latching hook mechanism. This clever solution makes very simple and safe handling possible. The pin and plug can be securely fixed and released with just one hand. As an option, the clip-on flange, with an extra nut in the male connector, can also be screwed down to the plug. Variants with a solder pin for additional fixing on the printed circuit board are also possible.
For increased mechanical stability, you can also use a screw to fasten the flange connector to the PCB. An extra hole must be provided on the printed circuit board for the screws.
Solder flange rather than screw. For increased mechanical stability on the printed circuit board, an additional solder pin is integrated into the flange sides on the printed circuit board. This pin can be simply soldered during the soldering process. There is no need for any more screw connections.
The standard version—without additional flange or latch. To release, simply pull the plug. In most series, the plugs can be plugged next to one another, without a loss of poles.
The variant with a dovetail contour on the left and right is closed and if necessary, you can mount extra small fastening blocks (flanges) for installation. With little effort, you can therefore prepare versions which are both closed and feature a flange.
Plugs with flange have a screw on either end. This ensures secure fixing of the plug with the matching connector, with flange and nut. Increased safety means that no one can release the plug by mistake. In our OMNIMATE Power series, a latching hook provides secure retention. The screw can also be used for fastening purposes. The latch between the plug and pin can be released by simply pressing on both sides.
There is a lever on the right and left of the plug which can be easily moved by pressing with a screwdriver or fingers. Plug and pin are also automatically linked with just one click. Because of the lock mechanism, the plug cannot be released by mistake. Pulling forces are increased, for connectors with large numbers of pins in particular. However the release latch can be used to simply release the plug from the connector with flange, or from the housing without the wires having to be pulled. The plug can only be released from the pin by manually unlocking the release catch at the same time.
For some OMNIMATE® Power series, alongside the classic flange versions located on the right and left of the male and female plugs, we also provide an innovative middle flange. This clever solution makes very simple and safe handling possible. The pin and plug can be securely fixed and released with just one hand. To fix the components, either simply latch together or, for increased safety, you can also insert a screw through the latching hook.
