8-Position Plug for Panel Wiring
The 796634-8 is an 8-position plug from the TE Buchanan series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) termination of 12-30 AWG wire. The 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch matches standard terminal block headers, and the screw-rising cage clamp secures the conductor without crimp tooling. Retention latches on the non-wire side lock the plug into the mating header, providing vibration resistance in field-installed cable runs.
Wire entry is 180° (straight into the plug), which keeps the cable aligned with the plug axis for tidy panel routing. The plug accepts 0.05-3mm² (12-30 AWG) solid or stranded wire. For applications requiring frequent disconnect, consider a gold-plated variant.
RoHS compliant per current standards.
Comparing to Peer Alternatives
Peer MPNs 1-2213934-1, 1-2305909-1, and 1-2213935-1 are also active Buchanan plugs in bulk packaging. The key differentiator is position count and pitch — confirm your header's circuit count and pitch before substituting. No direct functional replacement is listed; each is a unique position/pitch variant.
