Product details

3-Position 5 mm Plug for Panel Wiring

It uses a screw-rising cage clamp to secure 12-30 AWG wire, with a strip length of 6-7.5 mm. Rated 15 A at 300 V (UL), the plug suits industrial control and power distribution within a -40°C to 110°C operating range.

270° Wire Entry and Retention Latches

Wire entry is at 270°, allowing angled cable routing in tight enclosures. Retention latches on the non-wire side lock the plug into the mating header, resisting vibration-induced disconnection. The screw clamp applies a torque of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) and accepts conductors from 0.05 to 3 mm². Contact mating finish is tin, suitable for standard industrial environments.
