The TE Connectivity Buchanan 796682-6 is a 6-position PCB terminal block with a 5.00 mm pitch, rated for 17.5 A per position at 300 V. The rising cage clamp — tightened to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) via the M3 screw — pulls the clamp up against the wire, giving a gas-tight connection across the 12-30 AWG range without damaging the conductor.
What the 17.5 A rating means for the board layout
17.5 A per position is the current each circuit carries before the temperature rise hits the limit of the PA66 housing. That is enough for a motor drive phase, a PSU output rail, or a lighting zone feed — not a signal line.
Side entry and screw clamp — what it means on the bench
That is the right call when the board sits against a panel wall or inside a shallow junction box where vertical clearance is tight. The rising cage clamp accepts solid or stranded wire — strip about 6-7 mm, insert, torque to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). The brass clamp and screw are nickel-plated, so corrosion on the clamp face is not an issue in a standard indoor cabinet. The interlocking side feature lets you gang multiple blocks side-by-side on a DIN rail or panel without gaps.
