Explore the full technical specs, pinouts, and South African availability of XY132-02HT PCB connectors. Ideal for engineering, education, and prototyping builds at Communica.
Voltage, current, and pin configuration for reliable XY132-02HT connections.
What to consider for board layout, soldering, and supply in South Africa.
Locally available at Communica for student, hobby, and industry PCBs.
PCB connectors such as the XY132-02HT are integral to South African electronic builds-spanning prototyping, industrial control, IoT modules, and education. The XY132-02HT series is a pluggable, two-position terminal block type connector, popular in projects that require reliable board-to-wire terminations with simple maintenance and field replacement.
Understanding the key technical specifications helps teams select the correct connector for voltage, current, and pinout needs, especially where local availability and lead times influence project timelines.
| Specification | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Positions / Ways | 2 | Row of 2 connection points |
| Pitch | 5.08 mm | Standard for many terminal blocks |
| Voltage Rating | 250 V AC/DC | For signal or power lines |
| Current Rating | 8 A | Typical at 20-25 degreesC ambient |
| Wire Range | 24 - 12 AWG | ~0.2 - 2.5 mm2 |
| Mating Style | Screw clamp, pluggable | Toolless insertion/removal |
| Mounting Type | Through-hole (THT) | For standard PCBs |
| Material | PA66 plastic, tinned brass | UL94-V0 rated housing |
| Temperature Range | -40 degreesC to +105 degreesC | Suitable for SA climate |
The XY132-02HT has two terminal positions (pins numbered 1 and 2, left to right as viewed from top), both routed straight through with no polarity preference. The 5.08 mm pitch aligns with standard PCB grids. Typical pad/through-hole dimensions for THT footprints are diameter 1.3 mm, with a pad size of 2.5 mm minimum. This supports ease of reflow or hand soldering, both common in South African assembly environments.
For a control PCB drawing 6 A @ 24 V DC through each terminal:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Current | 6 A |
| Voltage | 24 V DC |
| Power per pin (P = IV) | 144 W |
| Estimated Resistance | 0.015 Ohm |
| Power Loss (P = I2R) | 0.54 W |
Power loss as heat in the connector remains well within safe limits for these conditions in a ventilated enclosure typical of South African labs and control panels.
