The green polyamide housing is rated for 600 V and carries 13.5 A per position, with the wide pitch providing the creepage distance to support that voltage without tracking. The rising cage clamp termination accepts 16-30 AWG wire and is tightened to a specified torque of 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) using an M3 screw — the clamp lifts to capture the conductor, not crush it, so stranded wire holds without cold flow. ## Screw Termination with a Torque Spec That Matters The rising cage clamp is plated brass-nickel on both the clamp and the screw, with the contact material being brass-tin plated. The 0.68 Nm torque spec is not a suggestion — under-tightening leaves a high-resistance joint that heats under load; over-tightening strips the M3 thread in the PA66 housing. A torque driver set to 6 Lb-In is the correct tool.","metaTitle":"TE Buchanan 1-282838-0, 9-Pos 10mm Pitch PCB Terminal Block","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 1-282838-0 9-position PCB terminal block, 10.00mm pitch, 13.5 A, 600 V, green housing, rising cage clamp, 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":"0.394\\\" (10.00mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Current":"13.5 A","Package":"Bulk","Voltage":"600 V","Features":"Interlocking (Side)","Wire Gauge":"16-30 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":"282838","Positions Per Level":"9","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":"$4.4500","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.45000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.96600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.94560","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.90520","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.52070","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$3.50048","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.23744","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.89347","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/1-282838-0/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the wire gauge range for 1-282838-0?","answer":"The 1-282838-0 accepts 16-30 AWG wire with the rising cage clamp termination."},{"question":"What is the recommended torque for the 1-282838-0 screw terminals?","answer":"The recommended torque is 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) using the M3 screw.
