The 3.81 mm pitch gives enough space between positions for a standard screwdriver without crowding adjacent terminations, and the green PA66 housing is rated for continuous use inside equipment enclosures. ## Wiring and Torque Specs for the Rising Cage Clamp The rising cage clamp accepts solid or stranded wire from 14 AWG down to 30 AWG. The M3 screw is tightened to 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In) — that's about a quarter turn past finger-tight on a standard terminal screwdriver. Over-torquing strips the brass threads; under-torquing leaves the cage not fully lifted against the wire. The clamp and screw are brass with nickel plating, and the contact bar is brass with tin plating — the tin surface mates well with copper wire and resists galvanic corrosion in indoor environments. ## Ganging Multiple Blocks with the Interlocking Side The interlocking side feature lets you snap adjacent blocks together into a continuous strip without a separate end barrier or DIN rail adapter. ## How the 2-Position Compares to the 7-Position Sibling The 284392-7 is the same Buchanan series, same 3.81 mm pitch, same 12 A / 300 V rating, same green housing and rising cage clamp — but with 7 positions per level instead of 2. Both use the same M3 screw torque and accept the same 14-30 AWG wire range.","metaTitle":"TE 284392-2 Buchanan Terminal Block, 2 Pos, 3.81mm, 12 A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 284392-2 Buchanan 2-position PCB terminal block, 3.81 mm pitch, 12 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp, green, active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Wire-to-Board Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.150\\\" (3.81mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Current":"12 A","Package":"Bulk","Voltage":"300 V","Features":"Interlocking (Side)","Wire Gauge":"14-30 AWG","Screw Thread":"M3","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"Horizontal with Board","Base Product Number":"284392","Positions Per Level":"2","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":"$0.9200","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.92000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.87500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.83640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.82500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.72090","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.69392","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.65536","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.56670","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.48574","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/1a7612b241adf0d187deae13df93b453.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/284392-2/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What wire gauge does 284392-2 accept?","answer":"It accepts 14-30 AWG solid or stranded wire with the rising cage clamp termination."},{"question":"Does 284392-2 have the interlocking side feature?","answer":"Yes, the interlocking side lets you gang multiple 284392-2 blocks into a continuous strip without a separate barrier."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/284392-2","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/284392-2 when reusing this data.
