Product details

The 1.5 A per-contact rating at 30 V sets this plug squarely in signal territory — it handles line-level telecom or data signals, not bus power. The 50.0 µin gold on the contacts is a heavy-duty finish: it withstands dozens of mate/unmate cycles without wear-through, which matters in a serviceable cable assembly where the plug is disconnected for moves, adds, or changes. The keyed housing adds a mechanical polarization feature — a plug with a different key position won't enter the same receptacle, protecting against wiring errors in multi-circuit installations. The 0.855" (21.72 mm) body length is the overall plug dimension including the cable exit; it fits within the envelope of a standard SDL panel cutout.

Crimp Termination and Tooling

Termination is crimp-style, accepting 24 AWG stranded round cable. The crimp barrel on the gold-plated copper alloy contacts is designed for a controlled-cycle crimp tool — typically a hand-held or pneumatic applicator from the TE application tooling range. The clear housing lets the assembler visually confirm the contact is fully seated and the latch is engaged before the cable is routed into the harness.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 3-520424-3 RoHS compliant?

Yes, the 3-520424-3 is RoHS3 compliant per the listing.

What tools are needed to crimp the 3-520424-3?

The 3-520424-3 uses crimp termination for 24 AWG stranded round cable. A controlled-cycle crimp tool from TE's application tooling range is required to properly compress the contact barrel onto the conductor.
