Product details

Crimp Socket for Multimate III+ Housings

Typical use is in power and signal interconnect assemblies where the Multimate III+ contact system provides a field-replaceable, high-retention crimp joint.

The 16-18 AWG wire range covers the most common power and signal leads in harness work. The gold plating thickness — 31.5µin (0.80µm) — is well above the 15µin flash typically used for low-cycle signal contacts; this socket is specced for applications where the contact sees multiple mate-unmate cycles in the field, such as in modular power distribution or test equipment. The stamped construction keeps the per-unit cost lower than a machined contact while still meeting the retention and conductivity requirements of the Multimate III+ system.

Frequently asked questions

Is 163084-2 compatible with 16 AWG wire?

Yes, the 163084-2 is rated for 16-18 AWG wire. The crimp barrel accepts both solid and stranded conductors within that range.

What is the difference between 163084-2 and 163084-1?

The 163084-2 and 163084-1 are both Multimate III+ stamped sockets, but the difference is in the contact finish thickness. The 163084-2 carries a 31.5µin (0.80µm) gold plating, while the 163084-1 uses a different plating grade. Check the specific finish requirement for your application's mating cycle count.
