The brass base material keeps the contact cost-effective for signal-level circuits where current draw stays under a few amps per contact. For a harness builder, this means the contact is a good fit for a signal line that sees occasional disconnect, not a daily-cycle hot-swap power line. The 18-22 AWG wire range covers the most common signal and low-power conductor sizes in a control cabinet or backplane harness. Crimp termination with the appropriate TE tool (such as the CERTI-CRIMP series) gives a gas-tight connection that meets the pull-force requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 style contacts. No secondary solder operation is needed — the crimp barrel grips the conductor insulation and the stripped wire in one stroke.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 66582-7 Multimate VI Socket Contact, Gold","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 66582-7 stamped socket contact for Multimate VI series.

Verify the plating requirement for your application before substituting — they are not mechanically interchangeable without confirming the mating cycle and corrosion spec."},{"question":"Does 66582-7 require a specific crimp tool?","answer":"Yes, the 66582-7 is a crimp-terminated contact and requires a TE CERTI-CRIMP or equivalent tool with the correct die set for 18-22 AWG stamped contacts. The tool must match the contact geometry to achieve the specified pull-force and gas-tight connection."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/66582-7","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/66582-7 when reusing this data.
