Terminal identity and wire fit
The TE Connectivity 60789-3 is a post receptacle crimp terminal designed for 20-24 AWG wire. It's a loose-piece terminal — you crimp it onto the stripped wire end, then insert it into a compatible housing cavity. The post receptacle shape means it mates with a pin or tab contact, not a blade. This is the kind of terminal you'd use in a multi-circuit connector where each wire terminates individually before the housing is assembled.
The terminal barrel deforms around the conductor and insulation, giving a gas-tight joint. No solder, no heat — just a controlled squeeze. The 60789-3 ships in Bulk, so you're getting loose terminals, not a strip or reel — plan for manual or semi-automatic feed into your crimp press.
