Stamped Socket Contact for Multimate III+ Systems
As a socket contact, it accepts the mating pin contact and is terminated via wire wrap — a gas-tight, solderless connection method commonly used in backplane and telecom equipment where rework and high-density wiring are priorities.
Wire Wrap Termination for Solderless Backplane Assembly
The wire wrap termination means this contact is intended to be inserted into a connector housing and then have a solid wire wrapped around the square post using a wrapping tool. This creates a cold-weld joint that is more reliable than solder in high-vibration environments and is easily reworkable — a technician can unwrap and re-wrap a wire without damaging the contact or the board. The gold plating on the contact interface ensures low and stable contact resistance across the life of the connection.
