Buchanan 796683-5 — 5-Position PCB Terminal Block
It uses a screw rising cage clamp termination, rated for 12-30 AWG wire, with a specified torque of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). The green polyamide (PA66) housing is a visual marker on the board, and the M3 screw and brass-nickel clamp are built for repeated field terminations.
Ratings and Board Fit
Rated 17.5 A at 300 V, this block suits control panel and power distribution boards where a ring lug under a screw is the preferred termination. The through-hole mounting keeps the block anchored against the torque of tightening the M3 screw.
Termination and Wire Handling
The screw rising cage clamp accepts solid or stranded wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG. The 0.79 Nm torque spec is the number to hit — under-torque and the wire pulls out under vibration; over-torque and you strip the M3 screw in the PA66 housing. Brass-nickel plating on both the screw and clamp resists corrosion in industrial cabinets.
