The 1986692-6 is a 6-position plug with female sockets, part of TE's terminal block header family, designed for wire-to-board connections in control cabinets and industrial panels. Rated 9 A at 300 V (UL), it handles moderate loads. The -40°C to 110°C operating range covers unheated enclosures and warm cabinet interiors alike.
Termination and field fit
Termination is screwless—push-in spring (Leg Spring style). Strip the wire, push it in; the spring grips 14-30 AWG (0.05-2 mm²). No screwdriver needed for the wire entry, which speeds up panel wiring and reduces torque errors. The 180° wire entry means the cable exits straight out the back, not at an angle—cleaner routing in a shallow enclosure. Side stacking is listed as a feature: multiple plugs can be ganged side-by-side without losing pitch alignment, useful for multi-level or multi-circuit blocks on a DIN rail or panel.
