Stamped Socket for the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK System
This is the female half of the interconnect — it mates with the corresponding pin terminal inside a Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK plug or receptacle housing.
Rated for 18-22 AWG stranded wire, this socket accepts the conductor sizes most common in signal-level and low-power circuits in the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK system. The stamped construction keeps the per-contact cost down while maintaining consistent crimp pull-force across the wire range.
For a harness that will be mated and unmated during equipment service life, this plating grade is the difference between a reliable interconnect and one that develops intermittent opens after a few cycles.
