The 0.138\" (3.50mm) pitch and 8 positions line up with common TE and industry-standard headers for signal-level wiring. Rated 2 A at 150 V, this plug is suited for control signals, sensor inputs, and low-power I/O inside an enclosure. The 16-20 AWG wire range and screwless push-in spring termination accept solid or ferruled stranded wire without a tool. The green housing and 90° wire entry make it easy to route wires along the board edge, keeping the harness tidy in a panel or junction box. ## Wiring and assembly details Termination is screwless – the leg spring pushes the wire into the contact when you press the push button. Strip length is 8.5-10 mm; no crimp ferrule is required, though a ferrule helps stranded wire stay compact. Side stacking lets you gang multiple plugs side-by-side to build wider multi-circuit blocks. The push button actuation on each position releases the wire individually, which helps during rework or last-minute changes. Contact mating finish is tin, which is fine for the rated 2 A and moderate mating cycles typical of terminal block applications. The steel, stainless contact material provides spring retention without plating wear concerns. Supplied in bulk packaging.","metaTitle":"1986716-8 TE Connectivity Plug for Unshrouded Header, 8 Pos","metaDescription":"1986716-8 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors plug for unshrouded header, 8 positions, 0.138\" (3.50mm) pitch, 2 A, 150 V, push-button actuation, side stacking","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Header Plugs & Sockets"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Type":"Plug for Unshrouded Header","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.138\\\" (3.50mm)","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Push Button Actuated, Side Stacking","Screw Size":"-","Current - UL":"2 A","Voltage - UL":"150 V","Current - IEC":"-","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"-","Plug Wire Entry":"90°","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Steel, Stainless","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Levels":"1","Insulation Height":"0.492\\\" (12.50mm)","Termination Style":"Screwless - Leg Spring, Push-In Spring","Wire Strip Length":"8.5-10mm","Header Orientation":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"1986716","Contact Tail Length":"-","Number of Positions":"8","Positions Per Level":"8","Contact Mating Finish":"Tin","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 110°C","Wire Gauge or Range - AWG":"16-20 AWG","Wire Gauge or Range - mm²":"0.5-1.3mm²","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$9.1600","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$9.16000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$7.98700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$7.77680","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$7.56640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$7.10410","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$7.06204","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$6.64168","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$5.92708","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/9a33f11e010a7e522b8604e8ff3f8c5a.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch of 1986716-8?","answer":"0.138\" (3.50mm) pitch, 8 positions, single level."},{"question":"Does 1986716-8 support side stacking?","answer":"Yes, side stacking is listed as a feature, allowing multiple plugs to be ganged side-by-side."},{"question":"What is the wire entry angle for 1986716-8?","answer":"90° wire entry – the wire enters perpendicular to the plug face, which helps route the harness along the board or panel."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1986716-8","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1986716-8 when reusing this data.
