MCP crimp socket for 11-13 AWG power circuits
The 1-968859-3 is a silver-plated socket contact in TE's MCP series, designed for 11-13 AWG wire in power and high-current harness applications.
Silver plating and wire gauge range
The 118.1µin (3.00µm) silver contact finish on the 1-968859-3 supports higher current density than the tin-plated 929989-8 (17-20 AWG) or 1-1326032-0 (16 AWG, 31.5µin tin) — the silver surface resists oxidation and maintains low contact resistance in continuous-duty power circuits.
