It is the female half of the crimp-contact system — mates with the standard HDP-20 pin contacts inside the D-sub housing. The stamped construction keeps the per-contact cost down for high-volume harness builds while still delivering reliable signal-level performance. Rated for 20-24 AWG wire, this contact covers the typical signal and low-power wire sizes used in multi-conductor D-sub cables.
Crimp termination with the standard HDP-20 crimp tool (e.g., TE 58433-3 or equivalent) for 20-24 AWG wire. The socket inserts into any AMPLIMITE HDP-20 D-sub housing cavity — the stamped contact geometry is consistent across the series. No solder, no insulation displacement; just a clean crimp-and-insert cycle that matches the pace of a harness board.
