12-Position PCB Terminal Block, 5.00 mm Pitch, Side Entry
The green polyamide (PA66) housing carries the 12 circuits in a row, and the side interlocking feature lets you gang multiple blocks side-by-side into a larger multi-pole assembly without additional hardware. The 16-30 AWG wire range covers most solid and stranded field wiring, secured by a rising cage clamp that pulls the wire against a tin-plated brass bus bar. The M3 screw is torqued to 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In), which is a standard value for this class of terminal block and within reach of a common screwdriver.
Side Interlocking and Ganging
Each block has dovetail-style interlocks on both sides — you push adjacent blocks together and they lock mechanically.
Termination: Rising Cage Clamp
When the M3 screw is tightened, the cage rises and clamps the conductor against the current bar.
The 12-position, 5.00 mm pitch, side-entry form factor is specific to this Buchanan part number.
