Terminal block plug for wire-to-header connections
The 5.08 mm pitch matches the common European-style terminal block footprint, and the free-hanging in-line body lets you route the wire bundle directly to the header without a right-angle adapter. The mating flange on the plug body provides a positive lock against the header, reducing the chance of vibration-induced disconnection.
Strip the wire to 6-7.5 mm, insert it into the rising cage clamp, and tighten the M3 screw to 0.79 Nm. The clamp lifts against the conductor, not the screw tip, so the contact force stays consistent across the full wire range. The 180° wire entry — straight into the plug — keeps the cable axis aligned with the terminal, which simplifies routing in a panel or junction box. Contact mating finish is tin, which is the standard for moderate-cycle applications (50-100 matings) in non-corrosive indoor environments.
Cross-shop alternatives in the Buchanan series
Peer MPNs 1-2213934-1, 1-2305909-1, and 1-2213935-1 are also active Buchanan plugs in the same pitch and termination style, but with different position counts or color codes. The 796859-2 is the 2-position variant; if your BOM calls for more circuits, one of those peers may match without a layout change.
