The 5.08 mm pitch matches the standard Buchanan header footprint, and the 15 A current rating at 300 V UL covers most industrial control and instrumentation loads within a panel enclosure. Free-hanging (in-line) mounting with 180° wire entry suits panel wiring where the plug inserts into a fixed header on the PCB or busbar. The retention latches on the non-wire side lock the plug into the mating header, resisting vibration-induced disconnect in equipment like PLCs, motor drives, and power supplies. ## Rated current and wire range The 15 A rating is the UL-listed maximum at the connector's rated ambient — derate current if the internal panel temperature exceeds 110°C, which is the upper limit of the PA66 housing. Within the same Buchanan series, the 1-2213934-1 and 1-2305909-1 are also active bulk-packaged plugs, but the 796634-3 is the 3-position variant — the others carry different position counts. The pitch, termination style, and current rating are identical across the family; the only decision variable is the number of circuits needed on the BOM. Mates with standard TE Buchanan headers of the same 5.08 mm pitch and position count. The plug's female sockets accept the header pins, and the retention latches snap onto the header's locking ramps. The screw rising cage clamp secures the wire without a separate ferrule — strip, insert, torque, done.","metaTitle":"796634-3 TE Buchanan 3-Pos 5.08mm Plug, 15 A, Active","metaDescription":"TE Buchanan 796634-3: 3-position plug, 5.08mm pitch, 15 A, 300 V, screw cage clamp, 12-30 AWG, UL94 V-0, RoHS.
