The lever actuated mechanism replaces the screw clamp with a tool-less cam that pushes the contact beam onto the stripped wire – no screwdriver needed for termination or release. Wire strip length is 10 mm; the screwless termination accepts solid or stranded wire within the 0.2-0.82 mm² range.","metaTitle":"2318582-8 TE Connectivity WireMate 8-Position Plug","metaDescription":"2318582-8 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors WireMate plug, 8 positions, 8.00mm pitch, lever actuated screwless termination, 250V UL, 18-24 AWG, Active.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"WireMate, Buchanan","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, Blade Sockets","Color":"Natural","Pitch":"0.315\\\" (8.00mm)","Series":"WireMate, Buchanan","Package":"Tray","Features":"Lever Actuated","Screw Size":"-","Voltage - UL":"250 V","Current - IEC":"-","Mounting Type":"Panel Mount, Snap-In","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"-","Plug Wire Entry":"180°","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Housing Material":"Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled","Number of Levels":"1","Insulation Height":"0.669\\\" (17.00mm)","Termination Style":"Screwless","Wire Strip Length":"10mm","Header Orientation":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"2318582","Contact Tail Length":"-","Number of Positions":"8","Positions Per Level":"8","Contact Mating Finish":"Tin","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C","Wire Gauge or Range - AWG":"18-24 AWG","Wire Gauge or Range - mm²":"0.2-0.82mm²","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$8.2600","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$8.26000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$6.51500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$6.19680","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$5.62500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$5.40250","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$4.76688","currency":"USD"},{"qty":450,"price":"$4.44909","currency":"USD"},{"qty":950,"price":"$4.13131","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/621f290d007e3ca25978574969acdd1a.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the current rating for 2318582-8?","answer":"The evidence does not list a specific current rating for this part. The 8.00 mm pitch and tin-plated contacts typically support several amps per circuit, but the exact rating depends on the wire gauge, ambient temperature, and number of circuits loaded – refer to the TE Connectivity product drawing for the derating curve."},{"question":"Is 2318582-8 compatible with Buchanan terminal blocks?","answer":"The 2318582-8 is part of the WireMate, Buchanan series from TE Connectivity, so it is designed to mate with the corresponding Buchanan header or receptacle in the same series. Confirm the mating half part number against the series catalog before committing."},{"question":"What is the recommended wire gauge for 2318582-8?","answer":"The plug accepts 18-24 AWG solid or stranded wire, which corresponds to 0.2-0.82 mm². The strip length is 10 mm."},{"question":"What is the lever actuated mechanism used for?","answer":"The lever actuated mechanism provides tool-less screwless termination – you push the lever to open the contact, insert the stripped wire, then close the lever to clamp the conductor.
