What the 11 A Rating and 3.81 mm Pitch Mean for Your Build
The 284507-5 is a 5-position, single-level plug from TE's Buchanan series, terminated via a screw-driven rising cage clamp — the clamp lifts to accept stripped wire, then cinches down with 0.31 Nm of torque, gripping 14-30 AWG solid or stranded conductors without damaging the strands. The 180° wire entry simplifies routing in a junction box or cabinet where the cable comes straight in.
Side Stacking and Color — Assembly Details
The plug features side stacking — multiple 284507-5 units can be ganged side-by-side on a DIN rail or panel to increase the circuit count beyond 5 positions without extra wiring. The green color is a visual identifier common in the Buchanan series for ground or neutral circuits in some schematics.
