What is the 1658539-5?
The TE Connectivity 1658539-5 is a stamped pin contact from the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series, designed for crimp termination to 20-24 AWG wire. It carries a gold flash finish on brass material — the gold layer prevents surface oxidation and maintains low contact resistance over repeated mate cycles in D-sub and other rectangular connector housings.
Wire and Termination Fit
Rated for 20-24 AWG stranded or solid wire, the crimp barrel accepts the stripped conductor and insulation simultaneously. The stamped construction keeps the per-unit cost low for high-volume harness runs, while the gold flash on the mating end handles the contact duty — tin would fret under the vibration typical in industrial or automotive D-sub applications.
