VAL-U-LOK crimp pin for 22-26 AWG
The 1586316-3 is a tin-plated pin contact in TE Connectivity's VAL-U-LOK series, designed for crimp termination of 22-26 AWG wire. Supplied in bulk, the contact mates with the VAL-U-LOK receptacle housings and carries the tin finish suited for moderate-cycle, cost-sensitive power and signal interconnects.
Tin-plated pin vs blade and socket siblings
Within the VAL-U-LOK family the 1586316-3 pin handles 22-26 AWG wire, while sibling 1326031-9 is a blade contact for 16 AWG and sibling 1-1326032-0 is a socket for 16 AWG with a 31.5 µin (0.80 µm) tin finish — the wire gauge and contact form differ, not the plating grade.
