The 282966-3 is a 3-position, shrouded (4-side) male pin header from TE's Buchanan series — a terminal block header designed for wire-to-board power distribution. The 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch provides the creepage and clearance needed for the 300 V UL rating, making it a fit for industrial control panels, motor drives, and HVAC equipment where signal-pitch headers would arc or track. The through-hole solder tails — 0.138" (3.50mm) long — anchor into the board and carry the 15 A per circuit without the thermal limits of a press-fit contact.
Rated for Power, Not Just Signal
15 A at 300 V per UL — this is a power-class header, not a signal interconnect.
282966-3 carries an Active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance.
