The green polyamide 6/6 housing carries a side interlocking feature so you can key several blocks together into a multi-position strip without extra brackets. ## Sizing the Wire and the Termination Torque The clamp accepts 16-28 AWG solid or stranded wire — the 16 AWG end is the practical limit for the 13.5 A rating without excessive temperature rise. The M3 screw has a specified torque of 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). Over-torquing can strip the brass threads or crack the nylon housing; under-torquing leaves a high-resistance joint that heats under load. The brass clamp and screw are nickel-plated to resist corrosion in humid cabinet environments. ## Mating Orientation and Board Layout The wire entry is horizontal with the board — the screw axis is parallel to the PCB, so the block sits low and the wires exit sideways. Through-hole mounting with 0.200\" pitch means the PCB footprint needs a row of holes on that spacing; the side interlocking tabs let you align multiple blocks end-to-end without gaps. The single-level design keeps the board height minimal — useful when the terminal block sits near an enclosure lid.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 282837-6","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 282837-6 6-position terminal block, 5.08mm pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp, green, RoHS3 compliant.
