The TE Connectivity 1-796682-1 is an 11-position PCB-mount terminal block from the Buchanan series, using a rising cage clamp termination. The M3 screw torque spec of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) is the clamping force that determines whether the wire is held securely under vibration — back it off and the connection loosens; overtighten and you risk stripping the brass threads. Wires enter horizontally with the board, so the block suits enclosures where the PCB sits parallel to the wire harness entry.
The rising cage clamp mechanism accepts 12-30 AWG wire — strip the insulation, insert the conductor into the clamp opening, and tighten the M3 screw to 0.79 Nm. The brass clamp and screw are nickel-plated; the contact area on the conductor is tin-plated brass. The interlocking side feature lets multiple blocks key together side-by-side on the same PCB for higher position counts without increasing the board space per position.
