Product details

3-position 5.00 mm plug for panel wiring

The 796858-3 is a 3-position plug from the TE Buchanan series, pitched at 0.197" (5.00mm) — the standard spacing for 300 V terminal blocks. It carries a 15 A continuous rating per UL, which puts it in the power distribution range for control cabinets and junction boxes, not just signal-level switching. Termination is a screw rising cage clamp accepting 12-30 AWG solid or stranded wire. The M3 screw torque is set at 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In), and the strip length is 6-7.5 mm — standard for this class of block. The wire entry is 180° straight-in, which simplifies routing in a crowded enclosure.
