It's a free-hanging (in-line) female socket plug with 90° wire entry, meaning the wires exit perpendicular to the mating axis, useful for routing along a panel or enclosure wall. The green housing is standard for ground/neutral identification in many European-style terminal block schemes. ## Screw Rising Cage Clamp Termination Termination is via a screw-driven rising cage clamp — the screw (M3) pushes a clamp plate up against the wire, gripping it against the contact. The specified torque is 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In); overtightening can strip the cage or damage the conductor. Accepts wire from 12-30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²) with a strip length of 6-7.5 mm. The retention latches on the wire side hold the plug in the mating header, preventing accidental disconnection under vibration.","metaTitle":"284046-4 TE Connectivity 4-Position 5.00 mm Terminal Block","metaDescription":"284046-4 TE Connectivity Buchanan plug, 4 positions, 5.00 mm pitch, 15 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp, free hanging, 90° wire entry, active production.","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 (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":"90°","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":"284046","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":"$4.1400","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.14000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.69000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.67160","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.63380","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.27610","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$3.25728","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.01250","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.69242","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch and position count of 284046-4?","answer":"It has 4 positions on a single level with a pitch of 0.197\" (5.00 mm)."},{"question":"What wire gauge fits 284046-4?","answer":"It accepts 12-30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²) solid or stranded wire with a strip length of 6-7.5 mm."},{"question":"Is 284046-4 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/284046-4","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/284046-4 when reusing this data.
