Product details

12-position shrouded header for 5mm-pitch terminal blocks

The 1-796642-2: This is a 12-position, single-level shrouded header from TE's Buchanan series, on a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch. The 4-sided shroud guides the mating plug and protects the male pins from accidental bending during installation or service — a practical detail when you're wiring a panel with gloved hands. The vertical orientation keeps the wire entry perpendicular to the PCB, which simplifies routing in a shallow enclosure.

Through-hole solder termination and green housing

Termination is through-hole solder — the contact tail length is 0.138" (3.50mm), which suits standard 1.6mm PCBs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pin configuration of 1-796642-2?

It is a 12-position, single-level header. All 12 positions are on one level, vertical orientation, with male pins shrouded on all four sides. The pitch is 0.197" (5.00mm) between positions.

Is 1-796642-2 RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant.

What is the mating connector for 1-796642-2?

This is a shrouded header designed to mate with a 5.00mm-pitch plug from the Buchanan series. The 4-sided shroud accepts the plug's housing — confirm the plug's position count and pitch match your assembly.

Is 1-796642-2 compatible with 5mm pitch plugs?

Yes, the pitch is 0.197" (5.00mm), which is the standard 5mm pitch for Buchanan terminal block plugs. Verify the plug's position count and keying match your application.
