Crimp socket for Dynamic D-3 power contacts
The 175196-3 is a gold-plated socket contact in TE's Dynamic D-3 series, accepting 16-20 AWG wire with a crimp termination.
Gold vs tin — selecting the right Dynamic D-3 socket
Within the Dynamic D-3 series, the 175196-3 (gold, 16-20 AWG) sits alongside tin-plated socket options such as 1-1326032-0 (tin, 16 AWG) and 929989-8 (tin, 17-20 AWG). The gold finish on the 175196-3 supports a higher mating-cycle duty than tin — choose the 175196-3 for applications where repeated connect/disconnect or corrosive environments are expected; the tin siblings suit lower-cycle, cost-sensitive builds.
