It mates with the corresponding 5.08 mm pitch plug (screw-clamp or spring-cage) to form a wire-to-board terminal block connection. The shrouded shroud (4 side) protects the male pins from accidental shorting and guides the plug into alignment during mating. ## Board-fit and orientation details The contact tail length is 0.138\" (3.50 mm), which fits standard 1.6 mm PCBs with enough protrusion for a reliable solder fillet. The mating flange on the header body accepts a screw or clip from the plug side — this locks the pair together against vibration and cable pull. ## Temperature range and material limits The PA66 housing maintains its mechanical strength across that band; the tin contact finish does not suffer from tin whisker growth at the low end, and the UL94 V-0 rating ensures the housing self-extinguishes if a fault raises the internal temperature.","metaTitle":"796866-3 TE Connectivity Buchanan Header, 3 Pos, 5.08mm, 15A","metaDescription":"796866-3 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan header: 3 positions, 5.08mm pitch, right-angle, shrouded, 15A/300V.

Any 5.08 mm pitch plug (screw-clamp or spring-cage) from the same series mates with this header. The mating flange on the header provides a locking point for the plug."},{"question":"What is the closest functional alternative to 796866-3?","answer":"The peer MPN 1-2213934-1 is an active Buchanan header with the same pitch, current rating, orientation, and bulk packaging — but it is a 4-position version. If the BOM requires exactly 3 positions, 796866-3 is the correct choice; if an extra circuit is acceptable, the 4-position peer is a drop-in fit on the same footprint."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/796866-3","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/796866-3 when reusing this data.
