Why Choose the TE Connectivity TC5 Test Connector?
The TE Connectivity TC5 (1SNK900200R0000) is a dark grey single-pole modular test connector designed for testing and measurement access within compatible ENTRELEC SNK Series terminal block assemblies. Its plug-in design provides a convenient interface for connecting test equipment to electrical circuits during commissioning, diagnostics, troubleshooting and maintenance.
Designed for terminal blocks with 5.2 mm spacing, the TC5 provides a direct plug-in solution for compatible jumper channels and allows individual modules to be combined into customised test connector assemblies. The distinctive dark grey housing helps identify the testing accessory within densely populated industrial terminal installations.
The TC5 is rated at 16 A and 1000 V IEC, with an 8000 V impulse withstand rating and maximum dielectric withstand voltage of 2200 V. Its durable polyamide construction, IP20 protection and operating temperature range of -55 to 110 °C make it suitable for demanding industrial control and automation environments.

Convenient Testing Access for Industrial Terminal Assemblies
Test connectors provide temporary electrical access to circuits without requiring permanent changes to the installed wiring. This makes them useful during commissioning, routine measurements, fault finding and maintenance where technicians need a reliable interface between terminal circuits and electrical test equipment.
The TC5 provides a direct plug-in solution for compatible SNK Series jumper channels and is designed for more than 10,000 operating cycles. Its modular construction allows users to build test connector arrangements suited to the number and layout of circuits being measured, providing flexibility for professional panel building and maintenance applications.
