Multimate III+ Stamped Pin Contact — 16-18 AWG, Tin Finish
It carries a thick tin plating of 196.9 µin (5.00 µm) over a brass base — that plating thickness is enough for repeated insertion and extraction from the Multimate III+ housing cavity without galling, though tin contacts are best suited for applications where the mating cycle count stays moderate.
The crimp barrel accepts 16-18 AWG stranded wire — a common range for power-signal harnesses in industrial and automotive junction boxes. The stamped construction keeps the contact cost low while maintaining consistent crimp geometry. Use the recommended TE crimp tooling for the Multimate III+ series to get the specified pull-force and avoid damaging the tin finish during the crimp cycle.
