The 0.150\" (3.81mm) pitch and single-level layout make it a common fit for industrial terminal block systems where each circuit is individually wired. The screwless push-in spring termination accepts 14-30 AWG or 0.05-2 mm² wire — solid or ferruled stranded — and holds without a tool. This speeds harness assembly and resists loosening under vibration compared to screw-clamp terminals. Rated 9 A at 300 V (UL), the connector handles control power and signal circuits in industrial panels, PLC I/O racks, and motor control centres. A mating flange on the plug face provides positive locking with the matching header — critical in environments where cable strain or machine vibration could otherwise separate the mated pair. If you need a currently-produced alternative, the closest functional match will share the 0.150\" pitch, 18 positions, push-in termination, and mating flange — but a board spin or harness rework may be required to adapt a different manufacturer's terminal block system. ## Wire Range and Termination Checklist The push-in spring mechanism accepts solid or ferruled stranded wire from 14 AWG down to 30 AWG (0.05-2 mm²). Strip length and ferrule type should follow the TE application specification for the 1986726 series to ensure the spring grips the conductor, not the insulation. For applications requiring frequent disconnect/reconnect or exposure to corrosive atmospheres, a gold-plated contact variant would be preferred, but this part is tin as supplied.","metaTitle":"1-1986726-8 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Plug","metaDescription":"1-1986726-8 is an obsolete 18-position, 0.150\" (3.81mm) pitch plug with push-in spring termination.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Type":"Plug, Female Sockets","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.150\\\" (3.81mm)","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Mating Flange","Screw Size":"-","Current - UL":"9 A","Voltage - UL":"300 V","Current - IEC":"-","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Product Status":"Obsolete","Torque - Screw":"-","Plug Wire Entry":"180°","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Levels":"1","Insulation Height":"0.459\\\" (11.66mm)","Termination Style":"Screwless - Leg Spring, Push-In Spring","Wire Strip Length":"-","Header Orientation":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"1986726","Contact Tail Length":"-","Number of Positions":"18","Positions Per Level":"18","Contact Mating Finish":"Tin","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 110°C","Wire Gauge or Range - AWG":"14-30 AWG","Wire Gauge or Range - mm²":"0.05-2mm²","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.7900","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"How can I order 1-1986726-8 or check stock?","answer":"1-1986726-8 is obsolete and not stocked in standard distribution.
