Product details

Side-entry screw clamp on 5.08 mm pitch

The 796949-4 is a 4-position, single-level PCB terminal block from the TE Buchanan series. It uses a rising cage clamp under an M3 screw to terminate solid or stranded wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG, mating horizontally with the board. Rated 17.5 A at 300 V, this block suits power distribution, industrial control I/O, and PLC field-wiring panels where each position carries a load, not just a signal.

Interlocking side feature for multi-block strips

Side interlocking lets you snap multiple 796949-4 blocks together on the same PCB to form a continuous terminal strip without extra bridging hardware — useful when your BOM calls for 8 or 12 positions but the board layout prefers modular blocks.

Frequently asked questions

What wire gauge range does 796949-4 accept?

The rising cage clamp accepts 12 AWG to 30 AWG solid or stranded wire. The M3 screw torque spec is 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) — overtightening can strip the brass-nickel screw or deform the cage.

Can 796949-4 be used with 30 AWG wire?

Yes, 30 AWG is within the 12-30 AWG range. At that fine gauge, strip length and cage alignment matter more than the terminal block itself — verify the wire insulation diameter fits the wire entry without bunching.

What is the color and housing material of 796949-4?

Black polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) housing.
