The rising cage clamp termination accepts wire from 16 AWG down to 30 AWG, with the M3 screw torqued to 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) to secure the conductor. The clamp plate is brass with nickel plating, and the contact surface is tin-plated brass — adequate for the current rating in dry indoor environments. Housing is green polyamide PA66 (Nylon 6/6). The single-level vertical orientation means wires enter from the top, perpendicular to the board surface. ## Side Interlocking for Multi-Position Assemblies The side interlocking feature lets you snap multiple 284094-6 blocks together into a wider terminal strip without a separate jumper bar. Each 6-position block remains a separate PCB footprint, but the interlocking keys align the blocks mechanically so the wire entries stay in a continuous row. This is useful when the circuit count exceeds 6 positions and you want to keep the same pitch and termination style across the assembly.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 284094-6 Buchanan Terminal Block, 6 Pos","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 284094-6 Buchanan PCB terminal block, 6 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, green, rising cage clamp.
