Whats the difference between 5.0mm 5.08mm pitch pcb terminal blocks? Are they the same?
0.08 mm.Whats the difference between 5.0mm 5.08mm pitch pcb terminal blocks?
Not the right way to look at it. You select the parts with the dimensions, cost, and availability that you need.Thank you very much. 5.08 seem more common is this true?
Is this supposed to be a trick question?
The differ by 0.08mm in pitch, so they're different.
It didn't fit perfectly, but rather it fit more than well enough.I was trying to use a 5.08mm Phoenix contact 4 position header and it fit perfectly to PCB designed for 5mm pitch.
It will fit fine if your terminal block is only for two positions. It will only be 80 microns too close. But a stack of 10, with nine gaps, will be 0.72 mm offset for the tenth block.I was trying to use a 5.08mm Phoenix contact 4 position header and it fit perfectly to PCB designed for 5mm pitch.
As I said, I did use 4 positions header and it was perfect. More pins, the offset will be significant and for 10 positions probably will not fitIt will fit fine if your terminal block is only for two positions. It will only be 80 microns too close.

Purchasing termination items from companies headquartered in continental Europe and Asia, pretty much guarantees Metric standards.I was trying to use a 5.08mm Phoenix contact 4 position header and it fit perfectly to PCB designed for 5mm pitch.
