Buchanan 9-Position Right-Angle Header — What It Is
The 282815-9 is a 9-position, single-level shrouded header from the TE Buchanan series, pitched at 0.200" (5.08mm). It mates with standard Buchanan plug connectors to form a wire-to-board terminal block interface. The side-stacking feature lets multiple headers sit flush side-by-side, building wider terminal blocks without gaps.
Fit and Footprint — What Bolts In
The 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch matches the standard Buchanan plug spacing. The shrouded header design (two-sided) guides the mating plug and protects pins from bending during insertion. Compared to the 2-position sibling 282814-2 (same pitch, same current rating, same right-angle orientation), the 282815-9 offers 9 positions versus 2 — a direct BOM-line swap if you need more circuits in a single header. The vertical sibling 282825-2 (same pitch, 2 positions) uses a straight pin exit; the 282815-9's right-angle body suits low-profile board-edge layouts.
