The green housing is standard for ground or chassis connections in many panel designs, though it's also used for general-purpose termination. The rising cage clamp termination (M3 screw, 0.79 Nm torque) accepts 12-30 AWG wire, which covers everything from 2.5 mm² power feeds to fine signal wires. If you're running near that current in a warm enclosure, derate per the manufacturer's curve. The M3 screw torque spec of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) is important — under-torque it and the wire can pull out; over-torque it and you strip the threads in the nylon housing. Use a torque screwdriver set to that value. ## Interlocking Side Feature for Multi-Pole Assemblies The interlocking side feature means you can snap multiple 796692-7 blocks together side-by-side to create a longer terminal strip without extra brackets or end plates. The blocks lock together mechanically, and the pitch stays consistent across the assembly. This is useful when you need, say, 21 positions — three blocks ganged — instead of a single larger part. The interlocking is a positive snap, so it holds during handling and soldering. ## How 796692-7 Compares to 796692-6 The 796692-7 (7 positions per level) and 796692-6 (6 positions per level) are otherwise identical — same 5.08 mm pitch, same 17.5 A / 300 V rating, same green housing, same rising cage clamp. The choice is purely about how many circuits you need per block. If your BOM calls for 12 circuits, two 796692-6 blocks interlocked give you 12 positions; if you need 14, two 796692-7 blocks interlocked give you 14. No other spec difference.","metaTitle":"796692-7 Buchanan Terminal Block, 7 Pos, 5.08mm, 17.5A","metaDescription":"TE Buchanan 796692-7 PCB terminal block, 7 positions per level, 2 levels, 5.08mm pitch, 17.5A, 300V, green, rising cage clamp.
