The TE Connectivity 60812-1 is a brush contact crimp terminal, designed for 14-18 AWG wire. It's a field-installable terminal — you crimp it onto the wire, then insert it into the matching housing. Brush contacts are used in applications where a wiping action during mating cleans the contact surface, improving reliability in dusty or lightly contaminated environments. This terminal ships in Bulk, so it's suited for repair work, low-volume builds, or bench stock rather than automated reel-fed assembly.
Crimp this terminal onto 14-18 AWG stranded or solid wire using the appropriate die. The brush contact design means the mating surface has multiple spring fingers that wipe against the mating pin or blade during engagement, keeping contact resistance low across repeated mate cycles. No soldering required — just strip, crimp, and insert into the housing.
