The 796640-5 is a 5-position, single-level plug from the TE Buchanan series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) termination with a screw - rising cage clamp. This pitch is common in European-style terminal blocks for industrial control panels, PLC I/O, and power distribution.
Wire termination and torque spec
The wire entry is 180° (straight), meaning the wire enters parallel to the plug axis. This orientation is typical for inline connections where the cable runs directly away from the plug.
The green color is standard for ground or general-purpose terminal blocks in many industrial color codes. Retention latches (non-wire side) and side stacking allow multiple plugs to be ganged together side-by-side, creating a multi-position assembly without extra hardware. This is useful when you need more than 5 positions in a single wiring run.
Peer alternatives in the same series include 1-2213934-1, 1-2305909-1, and 1-2213935-1 — all Active and bulk-packaged.
