The 0.150\" (3.81mm) pitch gives enough room between positions for the M2 screw and the rising cage clamp mechanism, so the board layout sees a standard 3.81mm grid. Rated 7 A at 300 V, it handles control and sensor-level power, not main bus feeds. The black polyamide housing carries a board guide feature to align the part during reflow placement. ## Wiring It — Torque, Wire Range, and the Rising Cage Wire termination is a screw-actuated rising cage clamp — the screw lifts a nickel-plated copper alloy plate that traps the conductor against the top of the tunnel. The M2 screw takes a specified torque of 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In), which means you need a torque driver on this assembly step; under-torque leaves the wire loose, over-torque strips the nylon threads. Accepts 18-28 AWG solid or stranded wire — 18 AWG is the practical limit for the cage opening. ## SMT Reality Check — Pads Take the Torque Surface-mount termination on a screw-clamp block is a mechanical compromise — the solder joints alone must hold the screw torque during field wiring. The board guide feature helps alignment during reflow, but the PCB pad design needs to account for the 0.5-0.6 Nm torque reaction.","metaTitle":"TE Buchanan Termi-Blok 2383941-8","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan Termi-Blok 2383941-8, 8-position single-level terminal block, 0.150\" (3.81mm) pitch, 7 A, 300 V, SMT, rising cage clamp.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Termi-Blok, Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Wire-to-Board Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Black","Pitch":"0.150\\\" (3.81mm)","Series":"Termi-Blok, Buchanan","Current":"7 A","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Voltage":"300 V","Features":"Board Guide","Wire Gauge":"18-28 AWG","Screw Thread":"M2","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In)","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Levels":"1","Wire Termination":"Screw - Rising Cage Clamp","Mating Orientation":"Horizontal with Board","Positions Per Level":"8","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Clamp Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Plated","Screw Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Plated","Contact Material - Plating":"Copper Alloy - Nickel Tin Plated"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.3500","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$3.35000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.98500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.97000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$2.93940","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.65010","currency":"USD"},{"qty":300,"price":"$4.90973","currency":"USD"},{"qty":600,"price":"$4.59203","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1500,"price":"$4.10107","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/0953ce4b94ecb176204ed58ac1d784fd.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 2383941-8 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, the 2383941-8 carries ROHS3 compliance as listed on the TE Connectivity record."},{"question":"What is the pitch of 2383941-8?","answer":"The pitch is 0.150\" (3.81mm) between positions, which is the standard Termi-Blok spacing for this series."},{"question":"What wire gauge fits 2383941-8?","answer":"The rising cage clamp accepts 18-28 AWG solid or stranded wire. 18 AWG is the practical maximum for the cage opening."},{"question":"Where to buy 2383941-8?","answer":"Availability and pricing confirmed at quote time."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2383941-8","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/2383941-8 when reusing this data.
