It terminates wires from 16-30 AWG using a screw-driven rising cage clamp — the clamp lifts inside the housing to pinch the wire against the current bar, so the screw never twists the conductor. Rated for 13.5 A at 300 V, it sits in the Buchanan series as a through-hole, side-entry (horizontal with board) block, colour green. ## How the Rising Cage Clamp Termination Works Strip the wire to the recommended length, insert it into the clamp opening, and tighten the M3 screw to 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). The rising cage clamp lifts upward, trapping the wire between the cage and the conductor bar. This design avoids the strand damage a traditional screw-and-clamp can cause and gives a gas-tight connection. The brass screw and clamp are both nickel-plated; the contact bar is tin-plated brass. The interlocking (side) feature lets you link multiple blocks side-by-side without a separate jumper — the housing keys into the next block. ## What the 13.5 A and 300 V Ratings Mean for Your Circuit 13.5 A per position is a power-class rating — this block is meant for distribution and control circuits, not signal-level lines. The single-level, 20-position layout fills a full row on the PCB; if you need fewer positions, the interlocking side feature lets you break the block into smaller sections or add more.","metaTitle":"2-282836-1 TE Buchanan Terminal Block, 20 Position, 5mm","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 2-282836-1 PCB terminal block, 20 positions, 0.197\" (5.00mm) pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, rising cage clamp, green.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Wire-to-Board Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.197\\\" (5.00mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Current":"13.5 A","Package":"Bulk","Voltage":"300 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":"282836","Positions Per Level":"20","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":"$9.9800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$9.98000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$9.02300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$8.78440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$8.45040","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$7.82970","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$7.78196","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$7.49550","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$6.68389","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch of the 2-282836-1 terminal block?","answer":"The 2-282836-1 has a 0.197\" (5.00 mm) pitch between positions."},{"question":"How to wire the 2-282836-1 terminal block?","answer":"Strip the wire to the recommended length, insert it into the rising cage clamp opening, and tighten the M3 screw to 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In).
