Crimp termination means the contact is field-installable with the correct TE-certified crimp tool and die set — the stamped barrel deforms around the stripped conductor and insulation to create a gas-tight joint. For a harness builder, the wire gauge acceptance is the first fit check: if your BOM calls for 16 AWG or 18 AWG stranded wire, this contact is dimensionally correct for the cavity and the crimp spec. ## Tin-lead finish and compliance This contact is intended for applications where RoHS exemption applies or where the end-equipment specification explicitly permits tin-lead — typically military, aerospace, or industrial equipment built under a controlled materials declaration. The thickness of the plating is specified at 50.0µin, which provides adequate corrosion resistance and contact durability for the stamped contact geometry across its rated mating cycles.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 66101-2 Multimate III+ Stamped Socket","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 66101-2 stamped socket contact for Multimate III+ series.

Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against your BOM quantity — submit an RFQ for a real-time sourcing check."},{"question":"Is the 66101-2 RoHS compliant?","answer":"No. The 66101-2 carries a tin-lead contact finish (50.0µin) and does not meet RoHS lead-content limits. It is suited for applications where tin-lead is permitted under exemption or by equipment specification."},{"question":"What is the wire gauge range for the 66101-2?","answer":"The 66101-2 accepts 16-18 AWG wire. This is the only wire gauge range specified for this stamped socket contact."},{"question":"What is the difference between 66101-1 and 66101-2?","answer":"Both are stamped socket contacts in the Multimate III+ series, but the 66101-2 carries a tin-lead finish (50.0µin) while the 66101-1 typically uses a different plating. The wire gauge range and crimp termination are the same.
