It mates with a matching 3.50mm pitch header, making it the cable-side half of a wire-to-board connection. ## Termination and torque discipline The screw rising cage clamp accepts 14–30 AWG (0.05–2 mm²) wire with a strip length of 5–6 mm. The M2 screw torque is specified at 0.31 Nm (2.7 Lb-In) — exceeding this risks stripping the PA66 housing threads. The contact mating finish is tin, rated for standard industrial environments; for high-cycle or corrosive conditions, consider a gold-plated variant. ## Side stacking and multi-level builds The side stacking feature allows adjacent plugs to lock together without additional brackets, forming a multi-position assembly. This is useful when the header is a multi-level block — each plug aligns and stacks on the side of the next. The 180° wire entry keeps the cable path straight, simplifying routing in tight enclosures.","metaTitle":"284506-5 TE Connectivity 5-Pos 3.5mm Plug Terminal Block","metaDescription":"284506-5 TE Connectivity Buchanan plug, 5 positions, 0.138\" (3.50mm) pitch, 11 A, 300 V, screw cage clamp, green, free-hanging.
