2-position Buchanan plug for panel wiring
The 1546118-2 is a 2-position plug from the TE Buchanan series, rated 15 A at 300 V with a 5.00 mm pitch – a common industrial signal and power distribution envelope. The housing is black polyamide (PA66) rated UL94 V-0, and the operating range spans -40°C to 110°C, so it sits comfortably inside an industrial cabinet or a control panel.
Wire entry angle and retention latches
The 270° wire entry on this plug differs from the 90° entry on the 1546122-2 and the 180° entry on the 796635-2 – if your harness needs the wire to exit parallel to the header axis, the 1546118-2's 270° orientation gives you that turn without a separate elbow. Retention latches on the non-wire side keep the plug locked to the mating header under vibration – a practical detail when the assembly sees machine or conveyor motion.
It ships in bulk packaging, and the base product number 1546118 covers the family; the -2 suffix indicates the 2-position variant.
