Product details

4-Position 5.08mm Pitch Plug for Panel Wiring

The 796859-4: This Buchanan plug carries 4 positions on a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, rated 15 A at 300 V — a common density for industrial terminal blocks feeding PLC I/O or sensor power rails. The free-hanging (in-line) body with 180° wire entry lets the cable run straight into the enclosure, keeping the wiring neat inside a cabinet or junction box.

Screw Clamp and Mating Flange Details

The rising cage clamp lifts a pressure plate against the wire — the screw does not rotate against the conductor, so stranded wire stays intact under the specified torque. A mating flange on the plug body accepts the corresponding header's locking feature, providing pull-out resistance in a panel where the cable sees occasional tugging. Contact mating finish is tin — rated for the typical 50-100 mating cycles of a terminal block application, not for high-cycle field-service reconnect duty.

Frequently asked questions

What wire gauge does 796859-4 accept?

It accepts 12-30 AWG (0.05-3mm²) solid or stranded wire, with a strip length of 6-7.5mm. The screw rising cage clamp torques to 0.79 Nm.

Does 796859-4 mate with a 5.08mm pitch header?

Yes — the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch is standard for Buchanan headers. The mating flange locks onto the header's latch for secure retention.
