Green housing is standard for ground or chassis connections in control panels and power distribution. ## Sizing the Wire and Setting the Torque Wire range is 16-30 AWG — the cage clamp accepts a full range of solid and stranded conductors. The M3 screw takes 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) of torque. That spec is tight enough to hold the wire under vibration but low enough to not strip the brass threads in the PA66 housing. The clamp and screw are both brass with nickel plating, so corrosion on the contact path is minimal in indoor panel environments. ## Ganging Multiple Blocks Together The side interlocking feature lets you snap multiple 284093-4 blocks together into a continuous strip without a separate end bracket or DIN rail adapter. Each block locks into the next one side-to-side, so a 4-position block becomes part of an 8-, 12-, or 16-position assembly on the same PCB footprint spacing. It is a current-production part from the Buchanan series, sourced through independent distribution.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 284093-4 Buchanan Terminal Block, 4 Position","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 284093-4 Buchanan terminal block, 4 positions, 5.00 mm pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, green, rising cage clamp, M3 screw, 16-30 AWG, RoHS, active","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Wire-to-Board Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.197\\\" (5.00mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Current":"13.5 A","Package":"Bulk","Voltage":"300 V","Features":"Interlocking (Side)","Wire Gauge":"16-30 AWG","Screw Thread":"M3","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"Vertical with Board","Base Product Number":"284093","Positions Per Level":"4","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":"$1.3400","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.34000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.25700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.21040","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.19860","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.08170","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.04664","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.95310","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.85369","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.77183","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/1a7612b241adf0d187deae13df93b453.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 284093-4 terminal block?","answer":"The 284093-4 is available to order through independent distribution.
