The green housing is a visual signature of this series, making it easy to spot on a populated PCB. It accepts wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG, so you can land a heavy power feed or a fine signal wire in the same block — the rising cage clamp grips the conductor without damaging it. The M3 screw is nickel-plated brass; the clamp is the same material, so there is no galvanic mismatch with copper wire. Rated 17.5 A per position at 300 V, this block handles typical panel-level power distribution inside an enclosure. The through-hole mounting keeps the block anchored during wave solder and resists the push force from screw tightening. The screw rising cage clamp is the workhorse termination for field wiring: strip the wire, insert it into the open clamp, tighten the M3 screw to pull the cage up against the conductor. No ferrule is required, though a ferrule helps with fine-stranded wire in the 24-30 AWG range. The interlocking side feature lets you key multiple blocks together side-by-side without gaps — useful when building a multi-position strip from single-position or 3-position modules. The 796911-3 is an active product in the Buchanan series — no last-time-buy notice, no official successor to chase. It is ROHS3 compliant, so it ships clean for EU and North American builds.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 796911-3 Buchanan Terminal Block, 3 Position","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 796911-3 terminal block, 3 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 17.5 A, 300 V, green housing, screw rising cage clamp.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Wire-to-Board Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.200\\\" (5.08mm)","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":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"Horizontal with Board","Base Product Number":"796911","Positions Per Level":"3","Operating Temperature":"-","Clamp Material - Plating":"Brass - Nickel Plated","Screw Material - Plating":"Brass - Nickel Plated","Contact Material - Plating":"Brass - Tin Plated"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.6000","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.60000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.46700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.42360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.40920","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.30810","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.28644","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.17080","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.04794","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.93953","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/916b0b68142441c950d496ded21d91f4.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 796911-3 terminal block?","answer":"The 796911-3 is sourced to order through independent distribution.
