It mates with a matching header (typically a Buchanan or Eurostyle terminal block header) to create a field-wireable power or signal connection in industrial control panels, HVAC equipment, and building automation. The 5.08 mm pitch is a standard spacing for terminal blocks, matching many common PCB headers. The 15 A current rating at 300 V UL means this plug can handle moderate power distribution within an enclosure — think 24 VDC sensor power or 120 VAC relay outputs. The green housing colour is typical for the Buchanan series, aiding visual identification in a crowded cabinet. The mating flange and retention latches (non-wire side) lock the plug to the header, preventing accidental disconnection under vibration. ## Termination and Wiring – Screw Rising Cage Clamp The wire strip length is 6-7.5 mm — a standard strip for terminal blocks. The 270° wire entry angle means the wire enters from the side rather than straight in, which can simplify routing in tight enclosures. The base product number is 796861, which can be used to search for related accessories or mating headers in the Buchanan series.","metaTitle":"1-796861-2 TE Connectivity Buchanan 12-Position Plug, 5.08mm","metaDescription":"1-796861-2 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan series plug, 12 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 15A, 300V, screw rising cage clamp, green, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Type":"Plug, Female Sockets","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.200\\\" (5.08mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Mating Flange, Retention Latches (Non-Wire Side)","Screw Size":"M3","Current - UL":"15 A","Voltage - UL":"300 V","Current - IEC":"-","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In)","Plug Wire Entry":"270°","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Insulation Height":"0.984\\\" (25.00mm)","Termination Style":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Wire Strip Length":"6-7.5mm","Header Orientation":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"796861","Contact Tail Length":"-","Number of Positions":"12","Positions Per Level":"12","Contact Mating Finish":"Tin","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~110°C","Wire Gauge or Range - AWG":"12-30 AWG","Wire Gauge or Range - mm²":"-","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$9.3116","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/9fded019543784ea00b0c5e87092e3c8.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the torque specification for the 1-796861-2 screw terminals?","answer":"The recommended torque is 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In).
