DEGSON DG212 – PUSH-IN Meets Reflow: PCB Terminal Blocks for Automated Manufacturing

Modern electronics manufacturing requires components that combine fast assembly, reliable connection technology, compact dimensions, and compatibility with automated production processes. The DEGSON DG212 series was developed with precisely these requirements in mind.

The compact PCB terminal blocks combine PUSH-IN spring connection technology with Through-Hole Reflow (THR), making the series particularly suitable for industrial electronics, automation technology, energy applications, and other applications with a high degree of manufacturing automation.

Designed for THR and Reflow Processes

The DG212-THR versions are designed for Through-Hole Reflow (THR). This allows the PCB terminal blocks to be assembled and soldered together with SMD components within an automated production process.

Depending on the version, DEGSON specifies reflow soldering, wave soldering, and manual soldering as suitable processing methods.

High-temperature-resistant housing materials enable the terminal blocks to withstand the thermal requirements of the reflow process.

PUSH-IN Technology for Fast Wiring

The DG212 series uses PUSH-IN spring connection technology. Suitable stripped conductors can be connected quickly and securely without conventional screw connection technology.

An operating button simplifies conductor release and can also provide access for electrical testing.

The spring connection system is designed to provide a reliable electrical connection and good resistance to vibration – an important advantage for industrial applications.

Compact Design

Space on modern PCBs is increasingly valuable. This is another area where the DG212 series offers advantages.

For example, the DG212R-THR version with a 3.5 mm pitch has a height of only 8.5 mm. This makes the series particularly suitable for compact control units, I/O modules, drives, and other applications with limited installation space.

Depending on the version, different conductor entry directions are available, providing additional flexibility when designing the PCB and enclosure.

Suitable for Automated PCB Assembly

Selected DG212 versions are available in tape-and-reel packaging, allowing the terminal blocks to be integrated into automated assembly processes.

This makes the DG212 particularly interesting for manufacturers who want to combine SMD assembly, THR components, and automated production in a highly efficient manufacturing process.

Technical Highlights of the DEGSON DG212

The exact electrical ratings depend on the respective DG212 version, pitch, overvoltage category, and pollution degree. The specific product data should therefore always be checked for the selected part number.

Typical Applications

The DG212 series is particularly suitable for applications in industrial automation, drive technology, distributed I/O modules, inverters, renewable energy systems, smart buildings, and compact electronic control units.

Its combination of PUSH-IN connection technology, compact dimensions, and compatibility with automated soldering processes makes the DG212 an interesting solution wherever efficient production and fast field wiring are equally important.
