The 796636-4: The 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch sets the PCB hole pattern and the spacing between adjacent terminal block positions — this is the standard pitch for many industrial screw-clamp and spring-clamp terminal blocks, so the header mates directly with the matching plug without adapters. Four positions in a single level, vertical orientation: the header stands upright on the board, with a 0.472" (12.00mm) insulation height above the PCB surface. The contact tail length of 0.138" (3.50mm) gives enough solder protrusion for a reliable through-hole joint on standard 1.6mm boards.
Power handling and thermal limits
The tin-plated copper alloy contacts handle this current without exceeding the 110°C upper limit of the PA66 housing, provided the ambient stays within the -40°C to 110°C range.
This is a shrouded male pin header — it mates with the corresponding Termi-Blok plug (female socket side) that accepts the field wiring. The through-hole mounting provides mechanical strength for the connector body under repeated plug insertion and cable strain.
RoHS compliant per the manufacturer declaration. No known direct replacement from TE for this exact order code — the 796636 base number covers the series; position count and pitch are fixed per variant.
