The screw torque spec is 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) — overtightening can strip the PA66 threads; a torque screwdriver is recommended for consistent clamping force across all four positions. The plug is free-hanging (in-line) with 180° wire entry, so the cable enters straight into the cage clamp — no right-angle bend at the termination point. Retention latches on the non-wire side hold the plug mated to the header under vibration; you should hear them click when fully seated.","metaTitle":"282809-4 TE Connectivity 4-Pos 10.16mm Plug, Female Sockets","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 282809-4 Buchanan 4-position plug, 10.16mm pitch, 15 A, 600 V, screw rising cage clamp, free hanging, green, UL94 V-0, ROHS3.
