Board-edge routing for shallow enclosures
The 284513-6 is a 6-position, single-level, right-angle shrouded header from the TE Buchanan series. Its 0.150" (3.81 mm) pitch sets the board footprint and the per-contact current ceiling — at 11 A the temperature rise stays within the PA66 housing limit. Rated 300 V (UL) with a -40°C to 110°C operating range, the header suits industrial control panels, PLC I/O modules, and terminal block interfaces where the wire-to-board connection is fixed and infrequently cycled.
Sizing the contact interface for fixed installations
In a panel that is wired once and serviced rarely, tin is the cost-effective choice; gold would add cost without benefit. The shrouded (4-side) design protects the pins from accidental shorting during handling. The through-hole solder termination suits standard PCB thicknesses. The 0.287" (7.30 mm) insulation height provides clearance above the board for side wire entry.
