This contact mates with standard Multimate III+ receptacle housings — the same family used across AMP CPC, D-Sub, and other industrial connector systems. The stamped pin geometry ensures positive retention in the housing cavity when fully seated. No special adapter or conversion is needed; it drops directly into any Multimate III+ cavity designed for stamped pin contacts. ## Crimp Tooling and Termination Crimping 16-18 AWG wire to this contact requires a tool that matches the stamped contact profile and wire range. TE Connectivity recommends a manual or pneumatic crimp tool with the proper die set for Multimate III+ stamped contacts — the same tooling used for other contacts in the series. The crimp must produce a symmetrical barrel fold that meets the pull-out force spec for the wire gauge; a field technician can verify with a go/no-go gauge.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 163082-2 Multimate III+ Stamped Pin Contact","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 163082-2 Multimate III+ stamped pin contact for 16-18 AWG wire.
