Product details

Two-position power plug for panel wiring

The 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch gives you room to land 12-30 AWG wire with a screw rising cage clamp — no crimp tool needed, just a screwdriver at 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In).

Screw clamp termination and wire range

The rising cage clamp accepts solid or stranded wire from 12 AWG down to 30 AWG (0.05-3 mm²). Strip length is 6-7.5 mm. The M3 screw is torqued to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) — the clamp rises to grip the conductor, not crush it, which makes for a repeatable termination. Retention latches on the non-wire side hold the plug in its mating header when vibration is present. The 180° wire entry keeps the cable aligned with the screw axis, which helps when routing wires in a crowded cabinet.
