MATE-N-LOK crimp socket for 13-17 AWG
The 163302-6 is a tin-plated socket contact in TE's MATE-N-LOK series, accepting 13-17 AWG wire with a crimp termination. Tin finish on the contact suits moderate-cycle applications where the mating count stays below the threshold that would demand gold — the plating grade governs the reconnect duty, not the contact resistance at first mate.
Wire gauge and packaging variation
The 163302-6 accepts 13-17 AWG wire, while the same-series peer 1-1326032-0 is specified for 16 AWG only — the wider gauge range of the 163302-6 covers more harness builds from a single terminal. The 929989-8, another MATE-N-LOK socket, accepts 17-20 AWG — the 163302-6 sits above it in wire size, covering the heavier-gauge branch of the series.
