Product details

Two-position plug for a 5.08 mm header — what the 15 A rating means

The 15 A current rating at 300 V is the full per-position capacity — no derating needed at room ambient, but keep an eye on the temperature rise if you're packing multiple plugs side by side in a cabinet. The rising cage clamp termination grabs the conductor firmly — torque the M3 screw to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) for a gas-tight connection that won't vibrate loose.

Wiring it up — wire range and strip length

Accepts 12 to 30 AWG solid or stranded wire, or 0.05 to 3 mm². Strip the insulation to 6-7.5 mm — too short and the cage may not bite the conductor; too long and you risk exposed copper past the clamp. Black color, single-level layout — no stacking levels here.

Frequently asked questions

What is the current rating of 796635-2?

Rated 15 A per position at 300 V per UL. That's the full per-circuit capacity at room temperature; derate if ambient exceeds the -40°C to 110°C operating range.

Is 796635-2 compatible with 5.08 mm pitch headers?

Yes — the 0.200" (5.08 mm) pitch matches standard 5.08 mm pin headers.

What is the torque specification for 796635-2?

Torque the M3 screw to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). Over-torquing can strip the polyamide housing; under-torquing leaves the wire loose in the cage.

What wire range does 796635-2 accept?

Accepts 12-30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²) solid or stranded wire. Strip length is 6-7.5 mm.
