The rising cage clamp doesn't wrap the screw thread around the conductor; the clamp plate rises vertically, so stranded wire doesn't birdcage under the screw head the way a traditional binding-head screw can. The M3 brass screw, nickel-plated, has a specified torque of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) — that's the sweet spot between crushing a 30 AWG solid and leaving a 12 AWG stranded loose enough to pull out under vibration. ## Through-Hole Mount, Horizontal Wire Entry — Board Layout Note This is the right choice when the enclosure height is tight above the board and the wiring exits toward a panel edge or cable duct. The 5.00 mm pitch on a 9-position block gives a 45 mm body length (9 × 5.00 mm), which eats board space but keeps the routing wide enough that a 12 AWG power feed doesn't need a tight bend radius into the clamp.","metaTitle":"TE 796682-9 Buchanan Terminal Block, 9 Pos, 5mm, 17.5A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 796682-9 Buchanan PCB terminal block, 9 positions, 5.00 mm pitch, 17.5 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp, RoHS.
