Rated 11 A at 300 V, with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts, the header is suited for power distribution and signal wiring in industrial control panels, HVAC equipment, and building automation where the current per circuit stays under 11 A and the voltage under 300 V. ## Vertical through-hole mounting with mating flange Vertical orientation means the header stands perpendicular to the PCB, with a contact tail length of 0.134\" (3.40 mm) for through-hole soldering. The mating flange adds a mechanical lock to the plug, resisting vibration-induced disconnection — useful in equipment that sees transport or fan vibration.","metaTitle":"284516-8 TE Connectivity 8 Pos 3.5mm Header, Active","metaDescription":"284516-8 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Buchanan series 8-position, 3.50mm pitch vertical shrouded header, 11 A, 300 V, UL94 V-0, tin contacts.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"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":"Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)","Color":"Green","Pitch":"0.138\\\" (3.50mm)","Series":"Buchanan","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Mating Flange","Screw Size":"-","Current - UL":"11 A","Voltage - UL":"300 V","Current - IEC":"-","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Product Status":"Active","Torque - Screw":"-","Plug Wire Entry":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Levels":"1","Insulation Height":"0.362\\\" (9.20mm)","Termination Style":"Solder","Wire Strip Length":"-","Header Orientation":"Vertical","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"284516","Contact Tail Length":"0.134\\\" (3.40mm)","Number of Positions":"8","Positions Per Level":"8","Contact Mating Finish":"Tin","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 110°C","Wire Gauge or Range - AWG":"-","Wire Gauge or Range - mm²":"-","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.7400","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.74000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.59100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.54440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.52860","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.41890","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.39540","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.26998","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.13672","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$1.01912","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/49917e49b4fac16447e2879a1ac8bf0a.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/284516-8/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 284516-8 and check current availability?","answer":"The 284516-8 is an active TE Connectivity part.
