The phosphor bronze base material gives a spring temper that holds crimp force over the wire range without relaxing. This socket uses a standard crimp termination — no solder, no insulation displacement. The 18-22 AWG range covers the most common signal and low-power wire sizes for D-sub pinouts in control cabinets and serial interfaces. The stamped construction keeps the contact cost lower than a machined version, which matters when you are populating a 25- or 37-position connector and the BOM quantity runs into the hundreds. ## Plating Grade and Mating Duty That thickness is standard for AMPLIMITE HDP-20 contacts that see field service — it resists corrosion in industrial cabinet environments and holds contact resistance stable through dozens of mate-unmate cycles. For a one-time permanent harness build, a lesser plating would work; for a connector that gets unplugged during panel rework, this is the right call.","metaTitle":"TE 745230-2 AMPLIMITE HDP-20 Socket Contact, 30.0µin Gold","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 stamped socket contact, 18-22 AWG, 30.0µin gold plating.
