Stamped socket contact for Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK
It is the female crimp terminal that terminates 22-26 AWG wire and mates with the corresponding pin contacts inside the series' housings. The tin contact finish suits moderate-duty applications where cost per circuit matters more than high-cycle mating life.
This contact uses a crimp termination — the wire is stripped, inserted into the barrel, and crimped with a tool matched to 22-26 AWG. The brass base material with tin plating gives a reliable gas-tight connection for signal and moderate-power circuits. No soldering required; the crimp is faster and more repeatable on a harness line.
Housing compatibility and mating
The 170365-1 socket contact loads into any Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK receptacle housing that accepts stamped contacts. The series uses a positive-lock latch between plug and receptacle housings; the contact itself is retained by a lance in the housing cavity. Confirm the housing cavity count and keying before committing the BOM line.
