The TE Connectivity 796689-5 is a 5-position Buchanan series PCB terminal block with a 0.197" (5.00 mm) pitch. It terminates wires via a screw-driven rising cage clamp — the clamp lifts as the M3 screw is tightened, pinning the conductor against the current bar for a gas-tight, vibration-resistant connection. The block mounts through-hole to the PCB and presents wires at a 35° (145°) angle relative to the board surface, a geometry that suits shallow enclosures where vertical wire exit is blocked by a cover or adjacent assembly.
Rated for Power and Signal in One Block
Rated 17.5 A per position at 300 V, this block carries enough current for a small motor drive, a power supply output, or a heater circuit. The wide wire range — 12 AWG for a power feed down to 30 AWG for a sensor signal — means one block covers both the incoming mains and the control wiring in a panel.
