16-circuit plug for 5.08 mm terminal block systems
The 3-796635-8: This is a 16-position, single-level plug with female sockets, part of the TE Buchanan series. The 0.200" (5.08 mm) pitch matches standard European-style terminal block headers, and the free-hanging (in-line) mount lets you wire directly to the board without a mating header shell. Rated 15 A at 300 V per UL, with a wire range of 12-30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²). The screw - rising cage clamp termination grips the conductor without damaging strands, and the M3 screw torque is set at 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In).
Screw clamp termination and wire prep
Strip length is 6-7.5 mm. The rising cage clamp lifts the clamp plate against the screw, not the wire, so stranded conductors stay intact under torque. Retention latches on the non-wire side keep the plug locked into the mating header against vibration. Housing is polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) rated UL94 V-0.
