5-Position PCB Terminal Block at 0.100" Pitch
The 282834-5: It uses a screw-driven rising cage clamp to terminate 16-30 AWG wire, with the wire entry oriented horizontally to the board.
The 5 positions per level mean the block occupies 0.500" (12.70 mm) of board edge. The through-hole mounting with M1.6 screws and a 0.2 Nm (1.7 Lb-In) torque spec is consistent across the Buchanan 282834 family; the 5-position variant is the one to specify when the BOM calls for five circuits on a single level.
The rising cage clamp captures the stripped wire between a nickel-plated brass clamp and a stainless steel screw. The clamp rises as the screw is tightened, pulling the wire against the current bar. This gives a gas-tight connection that handles the 10 A rating without loosening under thermal cycling. The 16-30 AWG range covers solid and stranded wire for control panel and instrumentation wiring.
