The 3RV1918-5BA00-0FJ0: This part is a solder pin terminal, not a screw-clamp or spring-cage connector. It is designed to be soldered directly onto a PCB or into a terminal block, creating a permanent, vibration-resistant connection. The M3/M12 designation refers to the thread size of the studs — M3 for the main contacts, M12 for the auxiliary contacts — which matches the standard mounting hardware on the 3RV19 series contactor/overload base. When integrating into a panel, plan for the solder pins to protrude through the PCB and be wave-soldered; the assembly is then bolted to the contactor's bus bars with M3 and M12 nuts (not included).

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 3RV1918-5BA00-0FJ0 in this component family?
Within the 3RV1918 series, the solder pin connection is specific to the M3/M12 thread configuration. There is no pin-compatible alternative within the same family that uses a different thread size — the M3/M12 combination is unique to this variant. For a different thread size, you would need to move to a different 3RV1918 order code with a different thread specification.
