10 positions at 5.08 mm pitch — the footprint that fits
The 1-282837-0: This is the 10-position, single-level member of the TE Buchanan series, pitched at 0.200" (5.08 mm) — a common spacing for industrial control and power distribution boards. The 13.5 A per-circuit rating and 300 V block rating set the power ceiling; the screw rising cage clamp accepts 16-28 AWG wire, so you can land a mix of signal and moderate-load conductors on the same block.
Screw clamp torque and wire range
The rising cage clamp is tightened to 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) — that's the torque spec for the M3 screw. Under-torque leaves the wire loose; over-torque strips the brass-nickel screw. The clamp material is brass with nickel plating, and the contact is brass with tin plating, so the current path stays corrosion-resistant in a cabinet environment.
Side-entry orientation and interlocking side feature
The interlocking side feature lets you gang multiple blocks side-by-side without a gap, so a multi-pole run stays aligned.
