The 796636-2 is a 2-position, vertical through-hole header from the Termi-Blok, Buchanan series, with a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and a 4-side shroud that protects the male pins during mating and in service.
Pitch, current, and the shrouded design
At 5.08mm pitch, this header lines up with standard 5mm terminal block footprints — the 0.200" spacing is a direct fit for many European-style pluggable blocks. The 15 A per position rating is derated from the contact's thermal limit; the tin-plated mating finish handles moderate cycle counts in a clean environment. The 4-side shroud adds mechanical keying and prevents the mating plug from being inserted upside-down — a practical safeguard in field wiring where the technician works by feel.
ROHS3 compliant, bulk packaged. No direct replacement or cross-reference is published by TE; the base product number 796636 covers the series variants.
