P-LUP by DINKLE: Intelligent Connection Technology for Efficient Wiring
New Generation of PCB Connection Technology
The »Push-In Lever Up« connection solution from DINKLE is not only a convenience feature for installers, but also a powerful design tool for hardware engineers. It is particularly suited for developers aiming to implement robust, assembly-friendly, and future-proof device architectures. P-LUP represents a new generation of PCB connection technology: high-performance, application-oriented, and consistently designed for efficiency.
Forward-Looking Solutions
In modern device and system design, speed, safety, and flexibility are key success factors. Innovative PCB terminal blocks with lever actuation address precisely these requirements, offering a forward-looking solution for demanding applications.
Push-In Lever Up: Whether in vehicle electrification, power supply units, or frequency inverters, lever-operated terminal blocks demonstrate outstanding performance wherever compact designs and efficient assembly processes are required. They combine maximum user convenience with high process reliability.
Tool-Free Wiring – Fast, Safe, and Convenient
Control cabinets and electronic devices are becoming increasingly compact. In many cases, there is no longer sufficient space for conventional screwdrivers. The innovative lever design
of P-LUP provides an effective solution:
- Direct hand actuation
- Tool-free connection of all conductor types – including fine-stranded wires
- Fast disconnection and reconnection
- High process reliability even in confined spaces
The integrated lever enables intuitive handling and significantly reduces assembly time. Adjustments, maintenance work, or subsequent optimizations can be carried out quickly and easily at any time. The result: substantially more efficient installation combined with high contact reliability.
Direct PCB Terminal Blocks
The one-piece PCB terminal blocks of series 0275 and 0290 are available in pitches ranging from 3.50mm to 15mm, allowing flexible adaptation to different PCB layouts. Conductor entry can be configured vertically, horizontally, or at a 45° angle, depending on application requirements. Various PCB layout options are available, including double- and triple-pin versions to enhance mechanical stability. Versions with staggered solder pins are also offered to increase clearance and creepage distances. The maximum current rating is 101A according to UL and 125A according to IEC standards. The rated voltage is 600V (UL) and 1000V (IEC).
Pluggable Lever Terminal Blocks for Industrial Applications
Pluggable connection solutions are indispensable in industrial environments. To extend the benefits of lever technology to this area, the P-LUP portfolio has been expanded to include
series 0256, 0257, and 0258 from DINKLE. These series combine the flexibility of pluggable systems with the convenience of tool-free lever operation – ideal for applications where rapid assembly, serviceability, and easy replacement are essential.
Seamless Integration into Existing Systems
A particular advantage: P-LUP cable sockets are compatible with existing DINKLE headers in pitch sizes of 3.50/3.81mm, 5/5.08mm and 7.62mm. This enables straightforward modernization of existing systems – without complex PCB layout modifications. Alternatively, in-line versions for cable-to-cable connections are also available. Additional locking options such as screw flanges or side latches increase mechanical stability and ensure secure connections, even under demanding operating conditions. Moreover, compatibility with common market standards ensures maximum flexibility in development and procurement. Existing designs can be retained while assembly and servicing are significantly simplified.
Easy Customization
Individual requirements can be implemented quickly and cost-effectively without fundamental design changes. Variable color combinations and marking options are available for clear visual differentiation. This enables unambiguous assignment of individual connections or functional areas and supports well-structured system design. As a result, both installation and maintenance are simplified, and the risk of errors is reduced. In addition to various housing colors, versions with black actuating levers are also available.
