Dynamic D-3 tab contact for 14-16 AWG wire
The 353718-2: Supplied in bulk, the contact carries a gold mating surface for repeated cycling and corrosion resistance in industrial environments.
Gold thickness choice across the 3537 series
Within the Dynamic D-3 3537 family, the 353718-2 (15.0µin gold) contrasts with the 353718-3 (30.0µin gold) — both are tab contacts for 14-16 AWG. The thicker plating on the -3 suits higher mating-cycle counts or more corrosive service; for standard industrial duty the 15.0µin version carries equivalent current ratings. The 353716-2 is the same 15.0µin tab contact in Tape & Reel packaging, intended for automated crimping lines rather than hand-assembly bulk.
