The 173631-2 is a gold-plated crimp socket for the Multi-Lock power connector series, accepting 16-20 AWG wire.
Within the same series, the tin-plated socket 1-1326032-0 (16 AWG, box packaging) and the 17-20 AWG tin-plated socket 929989-8 offer a lower-cost contact finish — the 173631-2's gold plating suits applications requiring higher mating cycle endurance.
The 173631-2 is ROHS3 compliant. No UL or IEC certification is listed in the available specifications.
Both are Multi-Lock crimp sockets accepting 16 AWG wire, but the 173631-2 uses gold plating while 1-1326032-0 uses tin plating — the contact finish differs, which may affect mating cycle life and corrosion resistance in the same housing.
