It uses a screw-driven rising cage clamp: the screw (M3, torqued to 0.79 Nm) pushes a clamp plate against the conductor. The strip length is 6-7.5 mm, and the clamp accepts solid or stranded wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²). ## Termination Checklist — Wire Prep and Screw Torque The plug mates with the corresponding Buchanan header (same series, 5.08 mm pitch). Retention latches on the non-wire side hold the plug in the header — they engage audibly and prevent back-out under vibration.","metaTitle":"284041-3 TE Connectivity Buchanan Plug, 3 Pos, 5.08 mm, 15 A","metaDescription":"284041-3 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan series plug, female sockets, 3 positions, 5.08 mm pitch, 15 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp, free hanging","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Header Plugs & Sockets"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Type":"Plug, Female Sockets","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.200\\\" (5.08mm)","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":"284041","Contact Tail Length":"-","Number of Positions":"3","Positions Per Level":"3","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":"$2.9600","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.96000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.25900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.11560","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.88060","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.83980","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.69668","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.53314","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.35939","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$1.27762","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/ec6211aa97c3e174de793676a8f5f1d3.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/284041-3/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the torque specification for the screw on 284041-3?","answer":"The M3 screw torque is specified at 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In).
