The screw rising cage clamp accepts wire from 16 AWG down to 30 AWG, making it suitable for both power feeds and signal-level field wiring in the same block. The M3 screw with a specified torque range of 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) gives a repeatable clamp force on the conductor without crushing fine-stranded wire. The horizontal mating orientation — wires enter parallel to the board surface — keeps the assembly profile low for shallow enclosures. ## Wire Termination and Contact System Termination uses a screw-driven rising cage clamp: turning the M3 screw lifts a nickel-plated copper alloy clamp plate against the conductor, securing it without damaging the wire strands. The screw itself is copper alloy with nickel plating, giving a consistent thread engagement over multiple terminations. The 16-30 AWG wire range covers solid and stranded conductors. For a 16 AWG power feed, the rising cage clamp pulls the full strand bundle into the cage without splaying; for a 30 AWG signal wire, the clamp compresses evenly without cutting into the fine strands. The 0.5-0.6 Nm torque spec should be followed with a calibrated driver for consistent contact resistance across all positions. ## SMT Mounting and Board Layout The surface-mount termination places the block directly onto PCB pads, eliminating through-hole soldering and reducing board-side assembly steps.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 2383938-7 Termi-Blok, 7 Position, 5.00 mm","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2383938-7 Termi-Blok terminal block, 7 positions, 5.00 mm pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, 16-30 AWG, SMT, screw rising cage clamp.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Termi-Blok, 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":"Black","Pitch":"0.197\\\" (5.00mm)","Series":"Termi-Blok, Buchanan","Current":"13.5 A","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Voltage":"300 V","Features":"Board Guide","Wire Gauge":"16-30 AWG","Screw Thread":"M3","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"Horizontal with Board","Positions Per Level":"7","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Clamp Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Plated","Screw Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Plated","Contact Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Tin Plated"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.6106","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$5.43000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1,"price":"$4.60000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$4.13700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$4.03300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.92720","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.87520","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.84280","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.44460","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.36980","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.61060","currency":"USD"},{"qty":230,"price":"$3.61057","currency":"USD"},{"qty":460,"price":"$3.58943","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/35e24c2c31cdbd607b7375ffe27b7801.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What wire gauge does 2383938-7 accept?","answer":"The terminal block accepts wire from 16 AWG to 30 AWG, using a screw-driven rising cage clamp that secures both solid and stranded conductors."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2383938-7","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2383938-7 when reusing this data.
