Product details

4-Position Buchanan Terminal Block for Power Distribution on the PCB

The 282856-4: The rising cage clamp — screw-driven with a brass-nickel-plated clamp and M3 screw torqued to 0.79 Nm — accepts wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG, so the same block handles both the main feed and smaller control wires. The green polyamide (PA66) housing is a visual cue common on Buchanan blocks, making it easy to spot on a crowded board.

Side-Entry Orientation and Interlocking for Ganged Assemblies

The interlocking side feature lets you snap multiple 282856-4 blocks together side-by-side without extra brackets, building a multi-position strip from single-position or multi-position modules. The 4-position block covers the common count for a three-phase plus neutral feed or a pair of DC rails.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 282856-4 suitable for 12 AWG wire?

Yes, the wire gauge range is 12-30 AWG, so 12 AWG stranded or solid fits the rising cage clamp. The M3 screw torque spec of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) is the recommended setting to get full pull-out force without damaging the conductor.

Is 282856-4 RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant per the listing, so it meets the current EU RoHS directive without exemptions.
