It accepts 16-18 AWG wire and terminates via crimp. Stamped construction keeps per-unit cost low while delivering reliable performance for moderate-cycle harness applications.
Wiring and Crimp Fit
The 16-18 AWG wire range is the primary fit criterion for harness builders. Use the correct TE-certified crimp tool (typically a hand or pneumatic tool with the appropriate applicator) to achieve the specified crimp height and pull-off force. The tin-plated brass contact is suitable for wire insulation diameters typical of that gauge range. Confirm the strip length per the tooling drawing before production crimping.
Plating and Duty Cycle
The 50.0 µin tin finish provides corrosion resistance and solderability for moderate mating cycles. Tin-plated contacts suit applications with limited reconnection frequency.
