This socket is rated for 22-26 AWG stranded wire. The crimp barrel accepts the full conductor bundle; the insulation support crimp grabs the jacket. For a 22 AWG build use the standard HDP-20 crimp tool (frame plus positioner) — the die set matches the barrel dimensions so the crimp height lands inside the pull-force spec. On 26 AWG the wire is at the small end of the range; check that the stripped length and conductor twist are consistent or the terminal may not seat fully in the housing cavity. ## Mating and housing fit The 745253-2 mates with the standard AMPLIMITE HDP-20 pin contact (base number 745254). It inserts into any HDP-20 D-sub housing — the socket cavity geometry is identical across the series from 9 to 50 positions. The stamped construction means the contact beam deflects on insertion and recovers; the 30.0µin gold wipes the pin surface on each mate, keeping contact resistance stable. No secondary lock is required beyond the housing's own retention tines.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 745253-2 AMPLIMITE HDP-20 Socket Contact","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 745253-2 stamped socket contact for AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series. 22-26 AWG, 30.0µin gold plating, crimp termination.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Multi-Purpose Circular"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Type":"Stamped","Series":"AMPLIMITE HDP-20","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Wire Gauge":"22-26 AWG","Pin or Socket":"Socket","Contact Finish":"Gold","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Base Product Number":"745253","Contact Termination":"Crimp","Contact Finish Thickness":"30.0µin (0.76µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.4300","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b6212e1b1d47b00ae795c9c06b1a3df0.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 745253-2 socket contact?","answer":"The 745253-2 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution.
