Product details

MCP 2.8 crimp socket for 14-16 AWG

The 1-968857-3 is the silver-plated socket member of TE's MCP 2.8 crimp contact line, accepting 14-16 AWG wire. Supplied in Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging.

Same-series peer contacts

Within the MCP 2.8 series, the 1-968857-3 (14-16 AWG socket, silver) differs from the 929989-8 (17-20 AWG socket, tin) and the 1-1326032-0 (16 AWG socket, tin, 31.5µin plating) — wire gauge range and contact plating grade are the selection axes. The 1326031-9 is a blade (male) contact in the same series, also 16 AWG with tin plating — the 1-968857-3 is the mating socket half.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation is available for 1-968857-3?

The part is ROHS3 Compliant per the lifecycle record. No UL or IEC listing is on file.

Will 1-968857-3 drop into a panel specified for 929989-8?

Both are MCP 2.8 series sockets, but 1-968857-3 accepts 14-16 AWG with silver plating, while 929989-8 accepts 17-20 AWG with tin plating. The housing interface is shared, but wire gauge and plating differ — confirm the mating half and current requirements before substitution.
