3-Pin 5mm Vertical Header for Terminal Block Applications
The 282832-3: The vertical orientation puts the pins straight up from the PCB, so the mating plug inserts from above, and the 0.138" (3.50 mm) solder tail length fits standard 1.6 mm thick boards. The green housing is a visual identifier in the Buchanan line, helping distinguish it from other pitch/position variants on a crowded panel.
Rated for 12 A at 300 V — What That Means on the Board
Rated 12 A continuous at 300 V per UL, this header handles typical industrial signal and low-power distribution loads.
Side Stacking for Multi-Circuit Builds
The single-level design keeps the wire entry in one row, simplifying harness routing.
