Vertical 5.08mm Shrouded Header for Terminal Block Systems
The 796637-2 is a 2-position, single-level shrouded header from TE's Termi-Blok and Buchanan series, designed to mate with pluggable terminal block connectors in industrial control and power distribution. Its 5.08mm pitch and 15 A / 300 V rating suit it for panel wiring and PCB-to-field wiring interfaces where each circuit carries moderate current. Tin-plated contacts provide adequate corrosion resistance for indoor industrial environments with moderate mating cycles — typical for terminal block connections that are mated during installation and rarely cycled again. The 110°C upper operating temperature covers most control cabinet ambients without derating.
Position Count and Level Configuration
With 2 positions across 1 level, this header is a minimal-circuit interface for applications like a single sensor or actuator connection, or a two-wire power feed. The single-level layout keeps the overall height low — the insulation height is 0.472" (12.00mm) — and the contact tail length of 0.138" (3.50mm) is standard for through-hole soldering to a typical 1.6mm PCB.
