The 796861-8: This 8-position plug on a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch matches the standard Buchanan header footprint. The 5.08mm pitch gives you room to route larger-gauge wire without crowding adjacent terminals.
Mounting and Retention in the Assembly
Free hanging in-line mounting means this plug floats on the wire, not fixed to a panel. The mating flange and retention latches (non-wire side) lock it to the header, so vibration won't shake it loose.
Comparing to the 4-Position Sibling
The 796859-4 is the same series with 4 positions and 180° wire entry instead of 270°. If your circuit count is lower or you need straight wire exit, that sibling fits the same header pitch.
