Rated 11 A at 300 V per UL, it handles typical signal and moderate power loads in industrial control panels, PLC I/O modules, and sensor junction boxes. At 0.138\" (3.50mm) pitch, this header fits the standard 3.5mm terminal block spacing — confirm your mating plug uses the same pitch before committing the BOM line. Compared to the 4-position sibling 1-2213934-1 (also Buchanan, same pitch and current rating), this 3-position variant is the choice when the circuit count is exactly three — no unused pins, no extra board space wasted. It is RoHS3 compliant, meeting the current EU directive for lead-free and restricted-substance content.","metaTitle":"284512-3 TE Connectivity 3.5mm 3-Pin Right-Angle Header","metaDescription":"284512-3 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan series header, 3 positions, 3.50mm pitch, 11 A, 300 V, right-angle, shrouded.
