It uses a screw-actuated rising cage clamp to terminate 16-30 AWG wire — the clamp pulls the wire up against a brass, tin-plated contact bar, giving a gas-tight connection without damaging the conductor strands. The green polyamide (PA66) housing carries a 13.5 A / 300 V rating, which is the full current capacity of the clamp and contact system at the rated temperature rise. This is the standard Buchanan footprint for a 5 mm-pitch block, used in industrial control panels, HVAC controllers, power supplies, and any board-level power distribution where a field-serviceable screw termination is preferred over a crimp or IDC. ## Termination and Torque Wire termination is a rising cage clamp driven by an M3 brass, nickel-plated screw. The specified torque is 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) — that's the setting for the screwdriver, not a suggestion. Under-torque leaves the wire loose in the cage; over-torque strips the M3 thread in the PA66 housing. The clamp material is brass with nickel plating, which resists corrosion in cabinet environments where condensation cycles on and off. The interlocking side feature lets you gang multiple blocks side-by-side on the same rail without gaps, maintaining the 5.00 mm pitch across a multi-position assembly.","metaTitle":"TE Buchanan 284093-6 Terminal Block, 6 Pos, 5 mm, 13.5 A","metaDescription":"284093-6 TE Buchanan terminal block, 6 positions, 0.197\" (5.00 mm) pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp, RoHS, active production.","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":"6","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":"$2.0300","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.03000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.81400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.80440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.78600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.63870","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.62944","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.48216","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.32566","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$1.16916","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/1a7612b241adf0d187deae13df93b453.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 284093-6?","answer":"The 284093-6 is sourced through independent distribution channels. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — stock position and lead time are confirmed at quote time. This is an active-production part with no known supply constraints."},{"question":"What is the current rating of 284093-6?","answer":"The 284093-6 is rated 13.5 A per position at 300 V. This is the maximum continuous current per circuit through the rising cage clamp and tin-plated contact system, derated per the temperature rise curve in the product drawing."},{"question":"What wire gauge does 284093-6 accept?","answer":"The terminal block accepts 16-30 AWG solid or stranded wire. The rising cage clamp grips the full conductor cross-section — no ferrule required, though ferruled wire is compatible within the wire range."},{"question":"What is the torque specification for 284093-6?","answer":"The M3 screw torque specification is 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). Use a torque-limited screwdriver set to this value to avoid stripping the threads in the PA66 housing."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/284093-6","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/284093-6 when reusing this data.
