Product details

Buchanan 6-Position Plug for Panel Wiring

Its 0.295" (7.50mm) pitch matches the Buchanan header footprint, and the rising cage clamp termination secures solid or stranded wire from 12 to 30 AWG without crimp tooling. Tin contact mating finish is standard for this screw-clamp family — adequate for occasional mating cycles in fixed installations. The retention latches (non-wire side) prevent accidental disconnection under vibration.

Screw Clamp Termination and Wire Prep

Wire entry is 180° straight into the plug body, simplifying daisy-chain wiring along a DIN rail or panel. The single-level design keeps all six positions in one row for easy access.

Frequently asked questions

What mating header is compatible with the 282959-6 plug?

The 282959-6 mates with TE Buchanan series headers of the same 0.295" (7.50mm) pitch and 6-position layout. Typical mating headers include the 282834 series (vertical) or 282841 series (right-angle) pin headers — confirm the exact part number matches the pin count and keying before ordering.
