Pitch and position count set the board footprint
The 284507-8: This 8-position plug uses a 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, which is the standard spacing for 3.81mm terminal blocks — the footprint matches the mating header on the PCB.
Current and voltage rating define the power envelope
Rated 11 A at 300 V, this plug handles typical control and signal-level power in industrial cabinets. The rating is per UL; derate if ambient exceeds the -40°C to 110°C operating range.
Side stacking for multi-level builds
Side stacking lets you gang multiple 284507-8 plugs side-by-side to build multi-level terminal blocks without extra brackets or jumpers — useful when you need more than 8 circuits in the same rail footprint.
Screw rising cage clamp termination accepts 14-30 AWG (0.05-2mm²) solid or stranded wire. Strip length is 5-6mm; tighten to 0.31 Nm (2.7 Lb-In) with an M2 screw.
