Rated 13.5 A at 300 V, it handles control-circuit and low-power distribution duty where a field-serviceable screw termination is preferred over a crimp-and-poke connector. ## Termination and Torque — Rising Cage Clamp The wire termination is a screw-driven rising cage clamp: turning the M3 screw lifts a nickel-plated brass clamp plate against the conductor. The specified torque is 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). Under-torquing leaves the wire loose under vibration; over-torquing strips the M3 thread in the PA66 housing. The clamp plate material — brass with nickel plating — resists corrosion in industrial cabinet environments where humidity cycles are common. ## Side Interlocking for Multi-Position Assemblies The housing includes an interlocking (side) feature that lets multiple 284094-9 blocks snap together side-by-side into a continuous terminal strip. This avoids a separate busbar or jumper bar for commoning adjacent positions — the interlock aligns the wire entries and the screw rows so a daisy-chain wire can run across the assembly. ## 9 Positions vs 8 Positions — the Position Count Delta The 284094-9 carries 9 positions per level against the 8 positions of the 284094-8 at the same 5.08 mm pitch. Both use the same M3 screw, same 0.68 Nm torque, and same 16-30 AWG wire range — the only selection variable is the number of terminations needed.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 284094-9 Buchanan Terminal Block, 9 Pos","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 284094-9 Buchanan PCB terminal block, 9 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 13.5 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp, green.
