Board-Mount Terminal Block, 8 Positions, 5.00 mm Pitch
It uses a screw-driven rising cage clamp to secure 16-30 AWG wire, with a specified torque of 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). The green polyamide (PA66) housing carries a 13.5 A current rating at 300 V, and the contacts are brass with tin plating. This is a through-hole mount part, intended for permanent board attachment in control cabinets, power supplies, and industrial I/O modules where reliable screw termination is preferred over push-in or spring-clamp alternatives.
Wiring and Torque Specs for the Rising Cage Clamp
The rising cage clamp accepts solid or stranded wire from 16 AWG down to 30 AWG. The M3 screw is tightened to 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) — a standard terminal block torque that strips smaller wire if over-torqued, so use a torque screwdriver or driver with a clutch set to that value. The clamp material is brass with nickel plating; the screw is brass with nickel plating. Both are corrosion-resistant for indoor industrial environments.
No official successor or direct replacement has been recorded. The green colour is a standard Buchanan identifier, not a functional variant — any colour change would be a different order code.
