Product details

6-Position 5.00mm Pitch Plug – Wire-Side Termination Block

The 284040-6: This is a TE Connectivity Buchanan series plug, 6 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, rated 15 A and 300 V – a standard power distribution block for control cabinets and junction boxes.

15 A / 300 V – Power Handling and Wire Range

The 12-30 AWG wire range covers both power feeds and signal wiring. The rising cage clamp termination uses an M3 screw with a torque spec of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) – over-torquing can strip the PA66 threads, so a torque driver is recommended. Wire strip length is 6-7.5mm; the clamp grips the stripped conductor without a ferrule, though ferruled wire is acceptable for stranded conductors in high-vibration environments.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 284040-6 in the Buchanan series?

The Buchanan series includes other 5.00mm pitch plugs with the same termination style. A 6-position, 5.00mm plug from the same series (e.g., 284040-5 for 5 positions) shares the same footprint and mating header. Confirm the position count and wire range match your BOM.

Is 284040-6 RoHS compliant?

Yes, the part is ROHS3 compliant per the manufacturer's listing.
