The 0.197\" (5.00mm) pitch and 17.5 A rating suit it for power distribution on a PCB, while the interlocking side feature lets you snap multiple blocks together without extra hardware. ## Wiring and termination: screw clamp with M3 torque spec The rising cage clamp accepts solid or stranded wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG. The M3 screw is tightened to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) — that torque spec is the sweet spot for a gas-tight connection without stripping the brass-nickel screw. The contact and clamp are brass with tin plating, which gives good corrosion resistance for indoor industrial environments. The screw is brass with nickel plating — the nickel adds a harder wear surface for repeated terminations. ## Mounting and board fit: through-hole, 35° wire entry The block mounts through-hole on the PCB. The wire entry is at a 35° angle (or 145° depending on orientation), which helps route wires in tight enclosures where straight vertical entry won't fit.","metaTitle":"796689-4 TE Connectivity Buchanan 4-Position 5.00mm","metaDescription":"796689-4 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan 4-position terminal block, 5.00mm pitch, 17.5 A, 300 V, screw rising cage clamp, black, active RoHS.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Wire-to-Board Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Black","Pitch":"0.197\\\" (5.00mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Current":"17.5 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":"0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"35° (145°) Angle with Board","Base Product Number":"796689","Positions Per Level":"4","Operating Temperature":"-","Clamp Material - Plating":"Brass - Tin Plated","Screw Material - Plating":"Brass - Nickel Plated","Contact Material - Plating":"Brass - Tin Plated"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.1600","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.16000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.93000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.92000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.90040","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.74370","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.73388","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.57716","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.41062","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$1.24409","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/796689-4/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 796689-4 and how is it quoted?","answer":"The 796689-4 is an active TE Buchanan terminal block.
