Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1986724-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• 8-position configuration
• 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing
• 9 A current rating (UL)
• 300 V voltage rating (UL)
• 14-30 AWG wire gauge acceptance (0.05-2mm²)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Female socket type
• Screwless push-in spring termination
• Free-hanging in-line mounting orientation
• 180° plug wire entry
• Copper alloy contacts with tin mating finish
• Polyamide (PA) nylon housing
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Environmental & Compliance:

• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 110°C
• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level)

The substitute part 1986720-8 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration (bulk versus original packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1986720-8 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1986724-8 terminal block plug. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and environmental compliance certifications.

Selection Basis:

The 1986720-8 is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. This part maintains full compatibility with existing designs utilizing the 1986724-8, with no modifications to PCB layouts, mating connectors, or circuit implementations required.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

The primary operational difference is packaging configuration: the 1986720-8 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 1986724-8 was supplied in original manufacturer packaging. This distinction does not affect component performance or electrical characteristics.

For new designs and production applications, the 1986720-8 is the appropriate selection. For field service or legacy system maintenance, the 1986720-8 provides direct functional replacement without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1986720-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 1986724-8 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1986720-8 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 1986724-8. All electrical ratings, termination methods, mounting configurations, and environmental specifications are equivalent. No circuit modifications or connector redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the 1986724-8 and 1986720-8?

A: The components are functionally identical. The 1986724-8 is classified as obsolete, while the 1986720-8 is an active product. The 1986720-8 is supplied in bulk packaging rather than original manufacturer packaging. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1986724-8 and 1986720-8 carry ROHS3 compliance certification and meet current environmental regulations for restricted substances.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these terminal blocks?
