It is the male contact that goes into the plug housing of this modular interconnect system, used in appliance, automotive, and industrial control harnesses where a reliable, field-serviceable connection is needed. The tin-plated brass construction keeps cost down for high-volume builds where the connector is mated only a handful of times over its life.
Wire gauge and crimp tooling
This pin accepts 18-22 AWG stranded wire. For consistent pull-force and contact resistance, the crimp needs to be made with the correct tool — typically a hand-crimp tool or an automated applicator from the TE CERTI-CRIMP or PRO-CRIMPER family, set up for the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK terminal profile.
