Stamped Pin for Multimate III+ Housings
This is the male (Pin) half of the contact pair, meaning it mates with the corresponding socket contact inside a Multimate III+ housing. The 20-24 AWG wire range gives it a solid reach for signal-level and moderate power circuits in industrial control panels, automotive junction boxes, and commercial equipment where the Multimate III+ system is common.
What the 31.5 µin Gold Plating Buys You
The 31.5 µin (0.80 µm) gold contact finish is the standout spec here — it's heavy enough for repeated mating cycles in field-serviceable connectors, not a flash coat that wears through after a few mates. In a Multimate III+ application where the harness gets disconnected for maintenance or reconfiguration, that gold thickness keeps contact resistance stable. The brass base material is standard for stamped and formed contacts; the gold carries the duty cycle.
The Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging options match it to both high-volume machine insertion and small-batch hand assembly.
Mating and Housing Fit
This pin crimps onto 20-24 AWG wire and loads into any Multimate III+ housing cavity that accepts a stamped pin contact. The base product number 163085 anchors the part in the TE catalog — the 5- prefix is the TE packaging and plating variant code. No special adapter or conversion needed; it's a direct fit for the standard Multimate III+ pin cavities.
