Termination is via a rising cage clamp actuated by an M3 screw, with a specified torque of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). The clamp and screw are brass with nickel plating; the contact area is brass with tin plating. ## What the 17.5 A and 300 V Ratings Mean for the Design 17.5 A per position at 300 V is a power-level rating — this block is sized for a DC bus or an AC mains feed, not a low-current sensor line. The single-level construction keeps the block compact: two positions in one row, so the PCB footprint is just two holes at 5.08 mm spacing plus the mounting pegs. ## Installation: Wire Termination and Torque The rising cage clamp captures the stripped conductor against the current bar as the M3 screw is tightened. The specified torque of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) is the installation target — under-tightening risks high contact resistance and overheating at 17.5 A; over-tightening can strip the brass screw or deform the cage. A torque screwdriver set to that value is the correct tool for production. The 12-30 AWG range means the same block accepts a 2.5 mm² stranded power wire and a 0.5 mm² signal wire — but the clamp is designed for one conductor per position. For a daisy-chain or multi-conductor termination, use the interlocking side feature to add adjacent blocks.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 282847-2 Buchanan Terminal Block, 2 Pos","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 282847-2 Buchanan 2-position PCB terminal block, 5.08mm pitch, 17.5 A, 300 V, rising cage clamp, M3 screw, 35° angle.","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":"0.200\\\" (5.08mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Current":"17.5 A","Package":"Bulk","Voltage":"300 V","Features":"Interlocking (Side)","Wire Gauge":"12-30 AWG","Screw Thread":"M3","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"35° (145°) Angle with Board","Base Product Number":"282847","Positions Per Level":"2","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":"$1.0500","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.05000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.98100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.94400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.93500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.84370","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.81632","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.74338","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.66584","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.60199","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/282847-2/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What wire gauge does the 282847-2 accept?","answer":"The 282847-2 accepts 12-30 AWG solid or stranded wire.
