16-Pin Right-Angle Header for Terminal Block Systems
The 284061-8 is a 16-position, shrouded male pin header from the TE Buchanan series, designed for use as the board-side interface in a terminal block system. Its 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and two-level layout (8 positions per level) match the footprint of a standard 5.08mm terminal block plug. Rated at 12 A and 300 V, this header handles typical industrial control and power distribution signals.
Interlocking Feature for Multi-Header Ganging
The side interlocking feature allows multiple 284061-8 headers to be mechanically joined side-by-side, creating a wider header assembly with more positions while maintaining the 5.08mm pitch across the combined block. This is useful when a single header position count is insufficient for the I/O count.
