This contact is supplied on Tape & Reel (also available in Cut Tape), suited for automated crimping machines in harness production. ## Wire gauge and crimp setup The 26-30 AWG range covers the fine-wire end of the harness build — common for signal-level circuits in control cabinets and instrumentation. The stamped contact geometry is designed for a four-indent crimp that pulls the brass ears around the conductor and insulation. Use the TE-certified hand tool or a bench press with the correct applicator for this contact family; the strip length and crimp height are specified in the tooling drawing for the 66424 base number. ## Gold plating and duty cycle The gold layer prevents oxidation of the brass substrate, keeping contact resistance stable.","metaTitle":"TE 66424-7 Multimate III+ Stamped Socket Contact, 26-30 AWG","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 66424-7 stamped socket contact for Multimate III+ series.
