Buchanan 3-Position Vertical Header for Terminal Block Applications
The 796642-3 is a 3-position, single-level shrouded header from the TE Buchanan series, designed for wire-to-board terminal block applications. The 5.00 mm pitch sets the PCB footprint and the per-contact current ceiling — at 15 A the temperature rise stays within the UL94 V-0 polyamide housing limit. Vertical through-hole orientation means the header stands upright on the board, mating with a plug from the same series.
Current, Voltage, and Contact Plating
Rated 15 A per circuit at 300 V (UL), the 796642-3 handles typical industrial control and power distribution loads. The copper alloy contact material carries the current without excessive resistance rise at the 15 A rating.
