The HARTING 09670008576 is a machined pin contact — the kind you crimp onto a wire before inserting into a D-sub connector housing. Machined, not stamped, which means the pin body is turned from bar stock: better concentricity, tighter dimensional control, and a more consistent crimp barrel than a stamped-and-formed part. The wire range is 20-24 AWG, which covers the most common signal and low-power wire sizes in a D-sub harness — 20 AWG for power pins, 24 AWG for signal lines. Gold here is the right call for a connector that might be unmated and remated during equipment service.
Wiring It In — Wire Gauge and Crimp
Crimp termination, bulk packaged. You'll need the matching HARTING crimp tool — the die profile is specific to machined contacts, and a generic open-barrel tool won't give the right compression on the wire barrel. The 20-24 AWG range is wider than the sibling 09670005576 (which takes 22-26 AWG), so this pin gives you the option to run a heavier 20 AWG wire for a power circuit in the same D-sub shell. Mates with the HARTING 09670008476 socket contact — same wire range, same gold finish, same crimp tool. If you're building a harness, order both halves together so the pin and socket come from the same production batch; contact resistance consistency is better that way.
Sourcing — Still in Production
Active lifecycle — HARTING still makes this contact. No last-time-buy notice, no EOL date looming. That matters because a machined pin is a long-life part; you don't want to qualify a new contact mid-production run.
