The 2-row, 0.059\" (1.50mm) row spacing matches standard 0.100\" pitch ribbon cable with alternating ground/signal conductors. The feed-through feature allows the cable to pass through the connector body, enabling multiple plugs on the same cable run for multi-drop configurations. Tin contacts are rated for limited mating cycles (typically under 25 mates) and are best suited for permanent or semi-permanent harness assemblies where the connector is not frequently disconnected. ## Mating and System Fit The 7-215083-8 mates with Micro-MaTch receptacles that have 8 positions in a 2-row layout at 0.100\" pitch. The matching receptacle (e.g., TE 1-226733-4) uses female socket contacts and a detent lock for retention. The free-hanging design means both plug and receptacle are in-line connectors — no PCB mounting on this half. For board-to-wire applications, the receptacle mounts to the PCB and the plug terminates the ribbon cable. The red housing provides visual identification in harness assemblies, reducing wiring errors during production.","metaTitle":"TE 7-215083-8 Micro-MaTch Plug, 8 Pos IDC, 28 AWG, Tin","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 7-215083-8 Micro-MaTch 8-position IDC plug for 28 AWG ribbon cable. 0.100\" pitch, tin contacts, free-hanging, ROHS3 compliant.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Micro-MaTch","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Panel-Mount & In-Line Circular"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Red","Pitch":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Series":"Micro-MaTch","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Feed Through","Wire Type":"Ribbon Cable","Wire Gauge":"28 AWG","Row Spacing":"0.059\\\" (1.50mm)","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Plug","Contact Finish":"Tin","Fastening Type":"-","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Cable Termination":"IDC","Base Product Number":"215083","Number of Positions":"8","Contact Finish Thickness":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.5700","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.57000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.43200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.39000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.37580","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.27700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.25588","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.14298","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1250,"price":"$1.02304","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.94543","currency":"USD"},{"qty":6250,"price":"$0.91721","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 7-215083-8 and what is the price?","answer":"The TE 7-215083-8 is available to order through our distribution channel.
