TE 1-66507-0 — Stamped Pin Contact for AMPLIMITE HDP-20
It's the male half of the signal circuit in standard D-sub connectors — mates with the matching socket contact inside any HDP-20 housing. The gold flash finish on a brass base keeps contact resistance low for the first several mating cycles, which is typical for field-installed harnesses where the connector isn't cycled repeatedly.
This contact is officially Obsolete per the manufacturer's lifecycle record. TE no longer manufactures the 1-66507-0 as a standard catalog item. No official successor order code is published.
The stamped pin accepts 24-28 AWG stranded wire, crimped with the standard HDP-20 hand tool or pneumatic applicator. The wire insulation diameter must clear the contact barrel — the crimp spec calls for a full conductor grip on the wire and an insulation support that doesn't deform the barrel. Gold flash on the mating surface means the contact is best suited for one-time or low-cycle installations; if the harness sees frequent disconnect, a machined contact with thicker gold plating is a better choice.
