12-Position, 5.08 mm Pitch, 15 A – Buchanan Plug
The 1-796859-2: The mating flange provides a mechanical lock against vibration when paired with the matching header. Wire range is 12-30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²), with a strip length of 6-7.5 mm. The 180° wire entry keeps the cable exiting straight out the back, typical for in-line cable runs in panels and junction boxes.
The base product number is 796859; the 1-796859-2 is a specific configuration within that family. Bulk packaging is standard – no tape-and-reel option is listed, which aligns with the hand-termination nature of the rising cage clamp.
Mating Header and Fit Check
The mating flange on the plug aligns with the header's locking ramp to prevent back-out under vibration. Confirm the header's position count (12) and pin arrangement before committing the BOM. The plug is free-hanging (in-line) – it does not mount to a panel or PCB directly.
Termination and Wire Preparation
For corrosive or high-humidity conditions, a gold-plated variant would be preferred, but this part is tin-only.
