# Screw terminal block

A PCB screw terminal block of the Phoenix Contact MKDS 1,5 type, 5.0 or 5.08 mm pitch, 2 to 16 positions. Pin 1 is at the origin, the row runs along +X, the housing sits on the XY plane with the wire entries facing -Y and the screws on top, and the solder pins go down through the board.

Phoenix Contact data sheet, *PCB terminal block MKDS 1,5/ 2-5,08* (1715721), a copy at <https://uploadcdn.oneyac.com/attachments/files/brand_pdf/phoenixcontact/A4/EA/MKDS152-508.pdf> (Phoenix Contact's own site refuses automated downloads). The data sheet is for the 2-position, 5.08 mm part. Dimensions (page 4):

- width a + pitch, where a is the distance between the end pins
- installed height 13.8, length 9.8
- solder pins 3.5 long and 0.9 x 0.9

The dimensional drawing (page 8) shows the pins 4.6 from the wire-entry face, and the same housing with 5 and 5.08 mm pitch.

**Proportions, for looks only:** the side profile's step and slope, and the wire entry and screw opening sizes. The screws and clamps aren't modelled. The housing is PA; the part uses `pa6`, green.

The 3.81 mm MKDS, the PT and MPT families and other makers' blocks aren't here yet; see `COVERAGE.md`.
