It accepts 22-28 AWG wire and carries a 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on the contact finish — a heavy-duty plating grade suited for repeated mating cycles and corrosive environments, not a flash-gold signal contact. The phosphor bronze base material provides spring retention in the housing cavity.
What wire gauge does 1658686-1 support?
The 1658686-1 socket contact accepts 22-28 AWG wire. That range covers standard signal wiring and low-power circuits in D-sub harness assemblies — the harness builder matches the wire size to the crimp barrel for proper pull-force retention.
