Product details

3.81 mm pitch, 3 positions, side interlocking

The 284509-3: This 3-position plug from the Buchanan series uses a 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch — the board footprint matches standard 3.81mm terminal block headers. The side interlocking feature lets you gang multiple plugs together without extra brackets, building a wider multi-position assembly from single units.

Free-hanging plug with 180° wire entry

Mounting type is free hanging (in-line), with the wire entry straight into the plug at 180°. The insulation height of 0.437" (11.10mm) gives clearance above the PCB for the cage clamp mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 284509-3 and get a price?

284509-3 is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ with your target quantity; current pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time. No stock-holding claim is made here.

Does 284509-3 have a locking or interlocking feature?

Yes, the plug includes side interlocking, allowing multiple plugs to be mechanically ganged side-by-side. This is a keyed slide feature, not a latch — it prevents accidental separation when plugs are stacked in a multi-position assembly.

What is the wire range for 284509-3?

It accepts 14-30 AWG (0.05-2mm²) solid or stranded wire. The screw rising cage clamp requires a 5-6mm strip length and M2 screw torque of 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In). No special tool is needed beyond a standard screwdriver.
