Product details

Board-Mount Terminal Block, 6 Positions, 5.08 mm Pitch

It uses a rising cage clamp wire termination — the screw tightens a clamp that pulls the wire against a current bar, giving a gas-tight connection across 12-30 AWG. The green polyamide (PA66) housing is standard for Buchanan blocks, and the side interlocking feature lets you key multiple blocks together on a DIN rail or panel without extra brackets.

Wire termination is screw-driven rising cage clamp. The clamp material is brass with nickel plating, and the screw is also brass-nickel. The contact material is brass with tin plating — tin is adequate for the intended industrial environment where the block is terminated once and left. The wire range is 12-30 AWG; the 0.79 Nm torque spec is tight enough for solid and stranded wire up to 12 AWG without crushing the conductor.

Frequently asked questions
