Product details

Gold-plated crimp tab for Multi-Lock housings

Gold vs tin — same wire, different duty

The 173645-3 carries gold plating, while the 173645-1 and 173645-2 are tin-plated versions of the same tab geometry, same 16-20 AWG range, same crimp termination. For a harness that mates infrequently or lives in a clean environment, tin is adequate; for field-service or corrosive exposure, gold buys extended cycle life without a change in wire preparation or tooling.

Frequently asked questions

Will 173645-3 drop into a panel specified around 173645-1 without rewiring?

Yes — the 173645-3 shares the same tab geometry, 16-20 AWG wire range, and crimp termination as the 173645-1. The only difference is the gold contact finish versus tin. No change in wire preparation, tooling, or mating housing is required.
