Wiring this 6-position block onto the board
The TE Connectivity Buchanan 796949-6 is a 6-position, single-level PCB terminal block on a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. It accepts 12-30 AWG wire into a screw-driven rising cage clamp — the clamp lifts to accept the stripped conductor, then the M3 screw torques down to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) to clamp the wire against the current bar.
Current and voltage capacity for the circuit
Rated 17.5 A per position at 300 V, this block suits power distribution and control circuits inside industrial panel equipment. The brass contacts are tin-plated — adequate for the rated current in dry indoor environments, though gold plating would be preferred for corrosive atmospheres or frequent re-termination.
Side interlocking for multi-block assemblies
The interlocking (side) feature lets you key adjacent blocks together to build a multi-position strip without a separate jumper bar. When you need more than 6 circuits on the same pitch, order a second 796949-6 and snap it alongside — the side locks align the blocks and keep the terminal spacing consistent across the assembly.
