The green polyamide (PA66) housing carries a 13.5 A current rating at 300 V, making it suited for power distribution on a PCB rather than signal-level interconnects. ## 13.5 A at 300 V — Power-Level Rating on a 5 mm Pitch The 13.5 A per-position current rating is the headline spec here — that is a power-level rating for a 5.00 mm pitch block, not a signal terminal. The 300 V voltage rating gives enough headroom for 240 VAC line-voltage applications in industrial control panels or HVAC equipment. The 16-30 AWG wire range covers solid and stranded conductors; for the upper end of that range (16-20 AWG), the rising cage clamp will grip the full cross-section without cold flow. The torque spec of 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) is the factory-recommended value — overtightening can strip the M3 brass screw or crack the PA66 housing. ## Interlocking Side Feature — Ganging Multiple Blocks The interlocking (side) feature means this 3-position block can be mechanically snapped together with adjacent 282836-series blocks to form a multi-position strip. This is a practical alternative to ordering a single wider block, especially if the PCB layout has space constraints or you need to mix different wire gauges across positions.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 282836-3 Buchanan Terminal Block, 3 Pos","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 282836-3 Buchanan 3-position PCB terminal block, 5.00 mm pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, rising cage clamp, green, active production, ROHS3.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"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":"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":"3","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":"$1.3000","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.30000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.21300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.16760","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.15640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.04350","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.00968","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.91944","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.82355","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.74458","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/1a7612b241adf0d187deae13df93b453.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/282836-3/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 282836-3 terminal block?","answer":"Submit an RFQ for your BOM quantity to get a current lead time and price."},{"question":"What is the torque specification for the 282836-3?","answer":"The recommended torque is 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) for the M3 brass screw.
