The green polyamide (PA66) housing is standard for ground/earth identification in panel wiring, and the 12 A / 300 V rating suits power distribution and control circuits inside industrial enclosures. The M3 screw with a specified torque of 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In) ensures consistent clamping force across the 12-30 AWG wire range, and the side interlocking feature lets multiple blocks snap together for multi-circuit bus bars without extra brackets. The rising cage clamp termination pulls the wire into a brass-nickel plated clamp, creating a gas-tight joint that resists vibration loosening better than a simple screw-and-pad design. The 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In) torque spec is not a suggestion — under-tightening leaves the wire loose, over-tightening can strip the M3 brass screw or crack the PA66 housing. The 12-30 AWG range means this block accepts both 12 AWG power feeds (for the full 12 A) and 30 AWG signal wiring, but the clamp geometry is optimised for the larger gauges; 30 AWG needs careful stripping and insertion to ensure the cage grips the conductor.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 284414-7 Buchanan Terminal Block, 7 Pos","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 284414-7 terminal block, 7 positions, 3.50mm pitch, 12 A, 300 V, green housing, screw rising cage clamp.","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":"0.138\\\" (3.50mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Current":"12 A","Package":"Bulk","Voltage":"300 V","Features":"Interlocking (Side)","Wire Gauge":"12-30 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":"Vertical with Board","Base Product Number":"284414","Positions Per Level":"7","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":"$4.3000","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.30000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.82700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.80760","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.76840","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.39750","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$3.37792","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.12410","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.79216","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 284414-7 terminal block and what is the lead time?","answer":"Submit an RFQ with your target quantity and delivery window for a firm response."},{"question":"What is the pitch of the 284414-7 terminal block?","answer":"The pitch is 0.138\" (3.50 mm), measured centre-to-centre between adjacent positions.
