8-position 3.50mm plug with push-in spring termination
The 1986723-8 is an 8-position plug with female sockets from TE Connectivity's terminal block series, designed for wire-to-board connections at 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch. It terminates solid or ferruled stranded wire from 14-30 AWG (0.05-2mm²) using a screwless leg spring, push-in mechanism — no screwdriver needed for the wire clamp. Rated 9 A at 300 V (UL), it suits industrial control panels, PLC I/O modules, and sensor power distribution where moderate current and voltage are typical.
Push-in spring clamp and mating flange
The screwless push-in spring clamp accepts wire without a tool — strip to the correct length, push in solid or ferruled stranded wire, and the spring holds it. This cuts assembly time compared to screw terminals on the same pitch. The mating flange on the plug body locks to the matching header, providing vibration-resistant retention in transport or machine-mount applications.
