Product details

Buchanan 284040-2: 2-position 5.00 mm plug for terminal block systems

The 284040-2 is a 2-position plug from the TE Connectivity Buchanan series, designed for wire-to-board terminal block applications. It uses a screw-rising cage clamp termination and accepts wire from 12-30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²).

15 A per circuit with screw termination

The 15 A current rating per circuit is the continuous current limit at 25 °C. The screw-rising cage clamp provides a gas-tight connection for solid or stranded wire; the specified torque is 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). The 284040-3 offers the same specs but with 3 positions; the 284040-6 has 6 positions.

The retention latches on the non-wire side hold the plug securely to the header under vibration.
