What is the 66098-2?
As a stamped contact, it is suited for high-volume harness production where consistent crimp quality and cost efficiency are priorities.
What wire gauge and termination does it use?
This pin contact accepts 16-18 AWG wire and terminates via crimp, requiring the appropriate Multimate III+ crimp tooling for a reliable gas-tight connection. The brass base material with 50.0µin tin-lead plating ensures low contact resistance and good corrosion resistance in moderate environments.
What housing is compatible with the 66098-2?
The 66098-2 mates with any Multimate III+ receptacle housing that accepts a stamped pin contact of this size. Typical applications include the CPC (Circular Plastic Connector) and D-subminiature connector families that use Multimate III+ contacts. Always verify the housing's contact cavity arrangement and keying to ensure proper insertion and retention.
