The 284514-5 is a 5-position shrouded header from TE's Buchanan series, pitched at 0.138" (3.50 mm) — a common spacing for terminal block interfaces on PLC I/O modules, industrial controllers, and building-management panels. The vertical through-hole orientation keeps the wire entry perpendicular to the PCB, which is the standard layout when the enclosure lid opens upward and the wiring runs straight down to the board.
Mounting and Termination for the Build
Through-hole solder termination with a vertical header orientation means the pins pass straight through the board and are wave-soldered on the opposite side. The 0.362" (9.20 mm) insulation height gives clearance above the PCB for the mating plug body — a dimension to check if your enclosure lid sits close to the board. The green color is the typical Buchanan terminal-block identifier, making it easy to spot on a populated board.
