The green PA66 housing (UL94 V-0 rated by material class) and the side-entry wire orientation — horizontal with the board — suit it for control cabinets, HVAC panels, and industrial power distribution where the wiring enters parallel to the PCB. The interlocking side feature lets multiple 284392-8 blocks snap together side-by-side to build a continuous terminal strip without extra hardware. ## 12 A per Circuit — Sized for Power, Not Signal The contact material is brass with tin plating, which is standard for stationary screw-clamp terminations where mating-cycle count is low (field wiring, not repeated disconnect). The rising cage clamp grips the conductor across its full cross-section, so the 12 A rating holds up to the full wire temperature rating as long as the ambient stays within the PA66 operating range.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 284392-8 Buchanan Terminal Block, 8 Position","metaDescription":"TE 284392-8 Buchanan PCB terminal block, 8 positions, 3.81mm pitch, 12A, 300V, screw rising cage clamp, green housing, RoHS3.
