It is a crimp-termination socket designed to accept 24-26 AWG wire, with a 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating over a brass base material. This contact is the female half of the Multimate III+ power and signal interconnect system, mating with the corresponding pin contacts in the same series. It is typically used inside Multimate III+ connector housings for wire-to-wire or wire-to-board applications where a reliable, field-serviceable crimp connection is required.
Wire Sizing and Crimp Fit
The 24-26 AWG wire range is the critical fit parameter for this socket. The stamped contact barrel is sized to crimp onto the stripped conductor and insulation for a gas-tight connection.
Plating and Duty Cycle
This level of gold is specified for applications requiring 500+ mating cycles or exposure to corrosive environments, such as industrial control panels, test equipment, or field-deployed sensors. The brass base material provides good spring properties for the contact beam.
