It is the male half of the connection — the pin that inserts into a Multimate III+ receptacle housing, not the socket that receives it. Supplied in bulk, this terminal is intended for harness assembly where you strip, crimp, and insert into the housing cavity.
The 1-66361-6 accepts 14-18 AWG stranded wire. That range covers common power and signal wiring in industrial control panels, automotive harnesses, and telecom gear — thick enough for a few amps of current, thin enough to route in tight bundles. The contact is a stamped design, meaning it is formed from a flat sheet, not machined from bar stock — standard for high-volume, cost-effective harness production.
Plating and duty cycle
It provides good conductivity and corrosion resistance at a lower cost than gold.
