It terminates wires via a screw-driven rising cage clamp — the screw tightens a clamp that presses the wire against a current bar, giving a gas-tight connection without needing a ferrule. This is a through-hole mount block with a horizontal wire entry orientation — wires enter parallel to the PCB surface. ## Ratings and Termination The M3 screw is torqued to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) — a controlled torque driver is recommended; under-torquing risks high contact resistance, over-torquing can strip the brass threads. The rising cage clamp accepts solid or stranded wire directly; the clamp material is brass with nickel plating, and the contact area is brass with tin plating — adequate for the current rating and the expected number of re-terminations in a panel environment. ## Interlocking and Panel Layout The housing features side interlocking — multiple blocks can be ganged together on the PCB to form a longer terminal strip without gaps. The positions are stamped on the housing for wire identification. Mid-wire entry level means the wire entry height is centered on the block profile, which keeps wiring consistent across a row of ganged blocks. For a 12-circuit BOM line, this single block covers the full count; no need to bridge multiple smaller blocks.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 1-282901-2 Buchanan Terminal Block","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 1-282901-2 Buchanan PCB terminal block, 12 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 17.5 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp.
