The stamped brass body is crimped onto the stripped conductor and insulation using a standard Multimate III+ crimp tool (such as the TE 584940 or equivalent open-barrel hand tool). The crimp barrel is designed for a four-indent crimp profile — the conductor crimp provides the mechanical retention and current path, while the insulation crimp anchors the wire jacket against vibration. A pull-test after crimp should confirm the terminal holds above the minimum specified for the wire gauge. ## Housing and Mating Compatibility The 1-66109-8 socket mates with any Multimate III+ pin contact (such as the 1-66108-* series) and inserts into the corresponding Multimate III+ receptacle or plug housings. The stamped contact design is fully compatible with the standard Multimate III+ cavity layout — no adapter or modification needed. For a complete connector assembly, pair this socket with the appropriate housing and pin contact for your circuit count and keying requirements.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 1-66109-8 Multimate III+ Socket Contact, Tin","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 1-66109-8 stamped socket contact for Multimate III+ series.
