Overview

The 282841-8 is an 8-position, 5.08mm pitch through-hole terminal block from the TE Connectivity Euro Style series. It features a rising cage clamp mechanism that provides a secure, reliable connection for wire gauges ranging from 12 AWG to 30 AWG. This horizontal-entry connector is rated for up to 17.5 A and 300 V, making it suitable for standard power and signal distribution on printed circuit boards.

Why Choose This Part

The rising cage clamp design ensures a consistent, gas-tight connection that does not damage fine wire strands even after multiple mating cycles. Its interlocking side design allows for modular expansion, while the 5.08mm (0.200 inch) pitch ensures compatibility with standard industrial footprints.
