Terminal Block for Fixed Wiring
The TE Connectivity Buchanan 282837-3 is a 3-position, single-level terminal block with a 5.08 mm pitch, rated 13.5 A at 300 V. It uses a screw rising cage clamp termination — the screw tightens a clamp that pulls the wire against a current bar, giving a gas-tight connection for 16-28 AWG solid or stranded wire. Side interlocking features let you snap multiple blocks together to build a multi-position strip without extra hardware.
The 5.08 mm pitch is the centre-to-centre spacing between adjacent terminals. This is a standard 0.200-inch pitch that matches the footprint of many common terminal blocks in the Buchanan series.
Current and Wire Range
Rated 13.5 A per circuit, this block can handle moderate power loads. The 16-28 AWG wire range covers most control wiring.
