The 270° wire entry routes the cable out the side of the plug, which keeps the wiring clear of the screw terminals above and saves space in a shallow enclosure. Rated 15 A per circuit at 300 V, with a 12-30 AWG wire range that covers most control and power wiring in panel builds. The rising cage clamp termination grabs the conductor without damaging strands — strip 6-7.5 mm, insert, torque the M3 screw to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In), and the clamp pulls the wire up against the current bar. ## What the 15 A and 300 V ratings mean on the bench The 15 A rating is per position at the UL temperature rise limit — derate if the ambient inside the enclosure exceeds the -40°C to 110°C operating range. The 300 V rating is the max working voltage between adjacent circuits. If the plug sees frequent disconnect-reconnect, gold-plated contacts in the same Buchanan family would resist fretting corrosion better — but this part is built for set-and-forget wiring. ## How this plug compares to nearby Buchanan siblings The closest sibling is 1546118-2: same 15 A / 300 V rating and rising cage clamp, but on a 5.00 mm pitch (vs 5.08 mm) and 2 positions only. The pitch difference matters for header alignment — a 5.08 mm header won't accept a 5.00 mm plug without forcing the pins. Another sibling, 1546122-2, is a 2-position plug with 90° wire entry and retention latches on the wire side — useful when the cable exits straight down instead of sideways. The 796635-6 is a 6-position plug with 180° wire entry (straight out the back), same pitch and current rating.","metaTitle":"1546105-5 TE Buchanan Plug, 5 Pos 5.08mm, 15 A","metaDescription":"1546105-5 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan plug, 5 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 15 A, 300 V.
