The lever actuated mechanism opens the contact clamp without tools: push the lever up, insert the stripped wire, snap the lever down. It cuts installation time versus a screw clamp and removes the risk of over-torque damage to the housing. The housing is natural PBT, glass filled, rated UL94 V-0. The glass fill gives the snap-in panel mount the stiffness to hold the connector in a cut-out under cable strain without cracking. Screwless termination accepts 18-24 AWG solid or stranded wire, with a strip length of 10 mm. The contact clamp pushes against the conductor without a separate ferrule—the spring force holds the wire against the current bar. Contact mating finish is tin. The 2318582-5 ships in a tray. Peer alternatives within the same WireMate series include 2213936-8, 2213932-9, and 2213933-4, all also active and box-packaged. The difference is position count and packaging—verify the BOM position count and panel cut-out before substituting.","metaTitle":"2318582-5 TE WireMate 5-Pin 8mm Lever Actuated Plug","metaDescription":"2318582-5 TE Connectivity WireMate 5-position plug, 8.00mm pitch, lever actuated, screwless termination.
