It terminates solid or stranded wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²) using a screw-driven rising cage clamp that pulls the conductor against the current bar; the clamp self-adjusts to the wire cross-section without damaging strands. Rated 15 A at 300 V UL, the per-contact current ceiling is set by the 5.00mm pitch and the tin-plated phosphor bronze contact surface — adequate for control cabinet power distribution and sensor/actuator wiring where the load stays below 15 A per circuit. ## Wire Preparation and Termination Checklist Strip the conductor to 6-7.5 mm before inserting into the rising cage clamp. The clamp accepts both solid and stranded wire; for fine-stranded wire (e.g., 30 AWG), a ferrule is recommended to prevent strand fan-out under the screw.","metaTitle":"796858-2 TE Connectivity 2-Pos 5.00mm Terminal Block Plug","metaDescription":"796858-2 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan series 2-position 5.00mm pitch plug, 15 A / 300 V, rising cage clamp, M3 flange, green, UL94 V-0, RoHS3.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Header Plugs & Sockets"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Type":"Plug, Female Sockets","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.197\\\" (5.00mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Mating Flange","Screw Size":"M3","Current - UL":"15 A","Voltage - UL":"300 V","Current - IEC":"-","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In)","Plug Wire Entry":"180°","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Insulation Height":"0.610\\\" (15.49mm)","Termination Style":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Wire Strip Length":"6-7.5mm","Header Orientation":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"796858","Contact Tail Length":"-","Number of Positions":"2","Positions Per Level":"2","Contact Mating Finish":"Tin","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 110°C","Wire Gauge or Range - AWG":"12-30 AWG","Wire Gauge or Range - mm²":"0.05-3mm²","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.6200","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$3.62000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.22300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.20640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.17360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.86120","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$2.84476","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$2.63098","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.35144","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/1a7612b241adf0d187deae13df93b453.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/796858-2/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What wire sizes does the 796858-2 accept?","answer":"The rising cage clamp accepts 12-30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²) with a strip length of 6-7.5 mm."},{"question":"Does the 796858-2 include a mating flange?","answer":"Yes, it includes a mating flange with an M3 screw.
