It uses a rising cage clamp termination — the screw tightens a brass clamp that pulls the wire against a current bar, giving a gas-tight connection that holds under thermal cycling. The 0.197" (5.00 mm) pitch is wide enough to keep 12 AWG conductors spaced for full creepage at 300 V without crowding the board layout.
24 A at 300 V — Sized for Branch Circuits
Rated 24 A and 300 V. Accepts 12-30 AWG wire. M3 screw torque set to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In).
Side Interlocking for Multi-Position Strips
The side interlocking feature lets you snap multiple 282856-2 blocks together into a longer strip — two blocks give 4 positions, three give 6, and so on — without a separate jumper bar or end bracket. That is the consolidation angle: one SKU covers any even position count on the BOM, reducing inventory lines.
