The four-sided shrouding guides the mating plug and protects the pins from accidental shorting during handling. Rated 15 A at 600 V per UL, this header handles industrial power levels — the 10.16mm pitch keeps creepage and clearance distances adequate for the 600 V working voltage. ## Mating and termination: what plugs with this header This shrouded header mates with Buchanan series plug connectors that accept 10.16mm pitch terminal blocks — typically the screw-clamp or spring-clamp plugs from the same series. The four-sided shroud ensures proper alignment and keying to prevent mismating.","metaTitle":"282818-4 TE Connectivity Buchanan Header, 4 Pos, 10.16mm","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 282818-4 Buchanan terminal block header, 4 positions, 0.400\" pitch, 15 A, 600 V, right-angle, shrouded, tin contacts, RoHS.
