The 796867-6 is a 6-position, single-level shrouded header from the TE Buchanan series, built for wire-to-board termination in industrial control panels, terminal blocks, and power distribution. Rated 15 A at 300 V per UL, with tin-plated copper alloy contacts and a polyamide 6/6 housing rated UL94 V-0. The vertical orientation and through-hole solder tails keep the assembly simple for wave-solder lines.
Pitch, positions, and what mates with it
At 5.08mm pitch, this header accepts a standard Buchanan plug with the same spacing — typically a screw-clamp or spring-clamp plug rated for 12-30 AWG. The 6 positions per level match a 6-circuit plug; the mating flange lets you screw the plug down for vibration resistance, which is worth doing if the panel sees any machine or conveyor shake.
15 A per contact at UL conditions — that's the continuous current limit before the temperature rise hits the housing ceiling. At 300 V, the 5.08mm spacing gives enough creepage for most 300 VAC/DC control circuits without tracking. The -40°C to 110°C operating range covers indoor industrial cabinets and outdoor enclosures in temperate climates. The polyamide 6/6 housing absorbs moisture slowly — in a humid environment, let the board outgas before high-pot testing.
