The 282808-3 is a 3-position plug from the TE Buchanan series, with a 10.00 mm pitch and screw rising cage clamp termination. It's rated 15 A at 600 V — the kind of rating you expect for panel wiring and industrial control cabinets where you're landing 12-30 AWG wire.
Wire strip length is 6-7.5 mm, and the torque spec for the M3 screw is 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). The rising cage clamp pulls the wire against the current bar — you should hear the clamp seat before you torque down.
Yes, the 10.00 mm pitch matches standard Buchanan 10 mm headers. Confirm the mating header's position count and orientation.
