5.08mm pitch plug for control-panel wiring
The 796859-5 is a 5-position plug from TE's Buchanan series, designed for wire-to-board termination in industrial control cabinets and power distribution blocks. The 5.08 mm pitch matches a standard 0.200" grid, common in terminal block headers, and the 15 A per-circuit UL rating at 300 V covers most panel-level signal and auxiliary power runs. Free-hanging (in-line) mounting with a 180° wire entry keeps the cable bundle aligned with the panel wiring duct, simplifying routing inside an enclosure.
Rising cage clamp termination
The rising cage design pulls the wire into the clamp pocket without damaging strands, giving a gas-tight connection that resists thermal cycling loosening.
Mating flange and housing details
A mating flange on the plug body provides a positive lock with the corresponding header, preventing accidental disconnection under vibration or cable tug.
Active lifecycle and sourcing posture
ROHS3 compliant. The base product number is 796859; the -5 suffix denotes the 5-position variant.
