It uses a rising cage clamp mechanism — the screw pushes a clamp plate down onto the conductor, creating a gas-tight connection without damaging the wire. The green polyamide (PA66) housing is rated for 17.5 A at 300 V, and the M3 screw is torqued to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). This block is intended for through-hole soldering on a PCB, and the side-entry orientation keeps the wiring parallel to the board — useful when vertical clearance is limited inside an enclosure. The 7.50 mm pitch is wide enough to accommodate 12 AWG wire (the block accepts 12-30 AWG) while maintaining 300 V of creepage between adjacent positions. The 17.5 A rating is per position at the rated voltage — in practice, derate the current if the ambient temperature inside the enclosure exceeds 25 °C, or if multiple adjacent blocks are ganged without spacing. The rising cage clamp termination is field-friendly: strip the wire, insert, tighten the M3 screw to the specified torque, and the clamp holds the conductor without cold flow or loosening under thermal cycling. ## Interlocking Side Feature and Ganging This block includes an interlocking (side) feature, meaning multiple 282844-2 blocks can be snapped together side-by-side to create a multi-position assembly without extra brackets or jumpers. The interlock aligns the blocks and prevents them from separating during handling or vibration. For a build requiring more than 2 positions, order additional 282844-2 units and snap them together — no separate end covers are needed unless the assembly terminates at an open side.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 282844-2","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 282844-2 terminal block, 2 positions, 7.50mm pitch, 17.5 A, 300 V, side-entry, rising cage clamp.
