The green polyamide (PA66) housing is UL94 V-0 rated (by class), and the rising cage clamp termination accepts 16-28 AWG wire with a specified M3 screw torque of 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). ## Rising cage clamp — torque-controlled termination Wire termination uses a rising cage clamp: turning the M3 screw (brass, nickel-plated) drives a clamp plate upward, trapping the conductor against the current bar. The specified torque of 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) is the figure that governs pull-out force and contact resistance — under-torque risks a loose connection; over-torque risks thread or housing damage. The clamp material is brass with nickel plating, and the contact surface is brass with tin plating, giving a corrosion-resistant current path for the 13.5 A rating. The side-entry orientation (horizontal with board) means wires enter parallel to the PCB, which simplifies routing in shallow enclosures. ## Interlocking side feature for multi-block assemblies The housing includes an interlocking (side) feature, allowing multiple 1-282837-2 blocks to be ganged side-by-side without additional brackets or hardware. Each block is a single-level design, so a 24-circuit build uses two blocks interlocked, sharing the same 5.08 mm pitch axis.","metaTitle":"TE Buchanan 1-282837-2 Terminal Block, 12 Pos, 5.08mm, 13.5A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 1-282837-2 PCB terminal block, 12 positions, 0.200\" (5.08 mm) pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, rising cage clamp, green, active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Wire-to-Board Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.200\\\" (5.08mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Current":"13.5 A","Package":"Bulk","Voltage":"300 V","Features":"Interlocking (Side)","Wire Gauge":"16-28 AWG","Screw Thread":"M3","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"Horizontal with Board","Base Product Number":"282837","Positions Per Level":"12","Operating Temperature":"-","Clamp Material - Plating":"Brass - Nickel Plated","Screw Material - Plating":"Brass - Nickel Plated","Contact Material - Plating":"Brass - Tin Plated"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$4.6700","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.67000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$4.09000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.98280","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.89720","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.66160","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$3.64016","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.40462","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$3.04060","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/1-282837-2/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 1-282837-2?","answer":"The TE Buchanan 1-282837-2 is sourced to order through independent distribution.
