The 16-18 AWG range covers a common power and signal wire size in industrial and automotive harnesses. For the crimp tool, you'll want the standard TE application tooling for Multimate III+ contacts; the die set must match the stamped contact geometry to get a gas-tight connection and proper pull-off force. The tape-and-reel packaging (also available as cut tape) feeds automated crimping presses without a reel change. ## Housing Compatibility and Mating This socket contact mates with any Multimate III+ pin contact of the same series and wire range. The housing side — the receptacle that holds these sockets — is a separate order; typical Multimate III+ housings are keyed and polarized to prevent mis-mating. No secondary lock is required for most applications, but always check the housing datasheet for TPA (terminal position assurance) options if the assembly sees vibration.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 2-66100-0 Multimate III+ Socket Contact","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2-66100-0 stamped socket contact for Multimate III+ series.

The housing must accept a socket contact; the specific housing part number depends on your circuit count and mounting style. Check the Multimate III+ housing family — the contact cavity geometry is consistent across the series."},{"question":"What crimp tool is recommended for the 2-66100-0?","answer":"TE Connectivity's standard crimp tooling for Multimate III+ stamped contacts is recommended. The tool die set must match the contact's stamped geometry and wire range. For automated assembly, the tape-and-reel packaging feeds directly into a bench or pneumatic press. For hand crimping, use the appropriate TE hand tool with the correct positioner for 16-18 AWG."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2-66100-0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2-66100-0 when reusing this data.
