Rated 9 A at 300 V per UL, the plug handles typical 24 VDC sensor loads, relay coils, and low-power actuator circuits found in PLC I/O racks and junction boxes. ## Wire Termination: Push-In Spring for Tool-Less Wiring Termination is screwless — a leg spring, push-in spring mechanism accepts solid or ferruled stranded wire without a screwdriver. The spring holds the conductor against the current bar, reducing installation time compared to screw-clamp blocks. Wire range covers 14-30 AWG (0.05-2 mm²), accommodating both 14 AWG power conductors and 30 AWG signal wires. The 180° plug wire entry aligns the cable straight into the header, simplifying routing in shallow enclosures. ## Side Stacking for Multi-Position Assemblies Side stacking is a listed feature — individual 8-position plugs can be ganged side-by-side to create wider connector assemblies with more circuits, without requiring a custom molded part. The free-hanging (in-line) mounting type means this plug is not board-mounted; it terminates the wire harness and plugs into a fixed header. The part is ROHS3 compliant. The base product number is 1986692, covering the series. This 8-position variant is the 1986692-8.","metaTitle":"1986692-8 TE Connectivity 8-Position 3.5mm Terminal Block","metaDescription":"1986692-8 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 8-position plug, 3.50mm pitch, 9 A, 300 V, push-in spring termination, side stacking, UL94 V-0.
