The 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch and single-row layout match the standard HE13/HE14 header footprint — a common choice for internal board-to-wire harnesses in control panels, test equipment, and low-current signal distribution where the IDC process replaces individual crimping. The 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch is the same as legacy 0.1\" grid headers — no footprint surprise if you are replacing a similar IDC connector. The detent lock holds the plug to the header without a secondary latch — enough for moderate vibration inside a cabinet, but not rated for high-shock or outdoor use. Free-hanging (in-line) mounting means this is the cable-end half; the board-side mate is a through-hole header with matching 0.100\" pitch. No crimp tool needed, but the wire must be solid or stranded with a consistent OD; ribbon cable is not supported.","metaTitle":"TE 281783-8 HE13/HE14 IDC Plug, 8 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch, Tin","metaDescription":"TE 281783-8 HE13/HE14 IDC plug, 8 positions, 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch, tin-plated female sockets, 24-26 AWG discrete wire, free-hanging with detent lock.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"HE13/HE14","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Panel-Mount & In-Line Circular"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Blue","Pitch":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Series":"HE13/HE14","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Wire Type":"Discrete","Wire Gauge":"24-26 AWG","Row Spacing":"-","Contact Type":"Female Socket","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Plug","Contact Finish":"Tin","Fastening Type":"Detent Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Cable Termination":"IDC","Base Product Number":"281783","Number of Positions":"8","Contact Finish Thickness":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.6700","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.67000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.52900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.48360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.46840","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.36290","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.34032","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.21986","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.09184","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$1.00901","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/9048b48f82c2a61136666636159645c7.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 281783-8 compatible with TE HE14 headers?","answer":"Yes.
