The Wieland Electric 8213 B / 8 is an 8-position PCB connector that combines a rising cage clamp system with screw termination for secure, field-installable wire connections. Operating at 5.08 mm pitch, this single-row through-hole connector accepts solid and fine-stranded conductors from 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm² and supports rated currents up to 15 A (factory wiring, UL/CSA). The grey thermoplastic housing is designed for industrial control, automation, and appliance wiring applications where vibration resistance and ease of maintenance are required. Mating occurs at 180° toward the connector body. The connector meets DIN EN/IEC 60335-1 household appliance standards and carries ROHS and REACH-SVHC compliance.
