The 796692-5 is a 10-circuit PCB terminal block from the TE Buchanan series, arranged as 5 positions per level across 2 levels. The 0.200" (5.08 mm) pitch is a standard power-block spacing that accepts wire from 12-30 AWG via a screw rising cage clamp — no crimp terminals, just strip and clamp. Rated 17.5 A at 300 V, this block handles moderate power distribution on a PCB — think control cabinet I/O, HVAC controllers, or industrial sensor hubs where a wire-to-board interface needs field-serviceable screw termination.
Screw torque and wire termination
The rising cage clamp uses an M3 screw with a specified torque of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) — overtightening risks stripping the brass-nickel screw or deforming the brass-tin clamp plate. The clamp material is brass with tin plating; the screw is brass with nickel plating.
