5.08 mm Pitch, 15 A, 300 V — Panel Wiring Plug
The 282807-3: This is a 3-position, single-level plug from the TE Buchanan series, designed for 5.08 mm pitch terminal block headers. It carries a 15 A current rating at 300 V (UL), which is typical for a rising cage clamp termination on 12-30 AWG wire. The free-hanging (in-line) mounting and 180° wire entry make it a straightforward field-wiring component for control cabinets, junction boxes, and panel interiors where the wire approaches straight into the clamp. Side interlocking features allow multiple plugs to be ganged side-by-side into a multi-position assembly — useful when a single header row needs more than three circuits and the board layout stays at 5.08 mm pitch.

Retention latches on the non-wire side provide a positive lock when mated with the corresponding header, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection under cable strain.
