5-Position, 3.50mm Pitch Screw-Clamp Plug
The 1986371-5: It is rated 11 A at 300 V, which puts it in the signal-to-light-power range: enough for sensor loops, small motor drives, and PLC I/O wiring, but not for busbar-level distribution. Termination is via a screw-driven rising cage clamp, which accepts 14-30 AWG (0.05-2 mm²) solid or stranded wire. The cage lifts to trap the conductor against the current bar — no wire ferrule is required, though ferrules improve pull-out consistency in high-vibration environments. The M2 screw sets the clamping force; torque it to the manufacturer's spec, then scan it with a thermal camera on first power-up to confirm the joint is cool.
Side Stacking and Mating Compatibility
The side stacking feature lets multiple 1986371-5 plugs lock together side-by-side on the same DIN rail or panel mount, creating a multi-circuit distribution block without extra hardware. This is a practical layout advantage when you need to break out several circuits from a single power source or signal bus.
