The plug features retention latches on the non-wire side, which lock into the mating header to resist vibration-induced disconnection. ## Wire Entry and Routing Flexibility The plug wire entry is 270°, meaning the cable exits at a right angle relative to the mating axis. This allows the wire to run parallel to the board surface, saving space in shallow enclosures or where the cable must route along the panel wall. The insulation height of 0.984\" (25.00 mm) provides clearance for the wire bend radius after termination, preventing strain on the cage clamp connection. ## Contact and Material Construction The contact material provides good spring properties for consistent clamp force. The housing is polyamide (PA66), a nylon 6/6 that offers good mechanical strength and chemical resistance for industrial environments. ## Lifecycle and Compliance Status It is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the current RoHS directive for restricted substances. The base product number is 284040, and the part is packaged in bulk.","metaTitle":"284040-4 TE Connectivity Buchanan Plug, 4 Pos, 5.00 mm, 15 A","metaDescription":"284040-4 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan series plug, 4 positions, 5.00 mm pitch, 15 A, 300 V, screw cage clamp, free hanging, ROHS3 compliant.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Header Plugs & Sockets"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Type":"Plug, Female Sockets","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.197\\\" (5.00mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Retention Latches (Non-Wire Side)","Screw Size":"M3","Current - UL":"15 A","Voltage - UL":"300 V","Current - IEC":"-","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In)","Plug Wire Entry":"270°","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Insulation Height":"0.984\\\" (25.00mm)","Termination Style":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Wire Strip Length":"6-7.5mm","Header Orientation":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"284040","Contact Tail Length":"-","Number of Positions":"4","Positions Per Level":"4","Contact Mating Finish":"Tin","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~110°C","Wire Gauge or Range - AWG":"12-30 AWG","Wire Gauge or Range - mm²":"0.05-3mm²","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$5.1300","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$5.13000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.90700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.65960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.25320","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.18240","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$2.93488","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$2.65200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.35145","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/7668abeefe179c9327473fe96d76f032.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the recommended mating header for 284040-4?","answer":"Confirm the header's pin length and orientation (vertical or right-angle) for your board layout."},{"question":"What wire sizes does the 284040-4 accept?","answer":"The screw rising cage clamp accepts 12-30 AWG solid or stranded wire, corresponding to 0.05-3 mm².
