The Multimate III+ platform is a standard power and signal interconnect family used across industrial controls, panel wiring, and power distribution harnesses where a rugged, field-serviceable crimp connection is required.
The 1-66602-1 accepts 14-18 AWG stranded wire — a common range for power circuits in control cabinets and distribution boxes. The crimp termination requires a tool matched to the contact barrel diameter; TE recommends a hand crimp tool or an automatic feed system from their application tooling range for the Multimate III+ series.
Cross-shop: 1-66602-1 vs 1-66602-0
The 1-66602-0 is the same Multimate III+ stamped pin contact with the same 14-18 AWG wire range and tin plating. The difference is the packaging: 1-66602-1 ships in Bulk, while 1-66602-0 ships in Tape & Reel. For hand-assembly or low-volume harness builds, the Bulk package of 1-66602-1 is the practical choice — no reel to load, no tape to peel. For automated crimping lines, the Tape & Reel version (1-66602-0) feeds directly into the machine.
