Stamped Socket for Multimate III+ Housings, 30.0µin Gold, Wire-Wrap Termination
The termination style is wire wrap, a solderless, gas-tight connection method suited for backplane and high-density wiring where rework or field changes are expected. The contact is supplied in bulk packaging. This is the female half that mates with a Multimate III+ pin contact inside a compatible housing — a common choice for industrial control, test equipment, and telecom backplane assemblies where the Multimate III+ system provides modular, high-cycle interconnect.
Gold Plating for Repeated Mating Cycles
For a one-time crimp-and-forget harness, a thinner flash might suffice; here the plating thickness tells you this contact is built for reconnect duty.
Wire-Wrap Termination — Solderless Backplane Fit
Wire wrap terminates the contact by wrapping a solid wire around the square post under tension, forming a gas-tight joint without solder or crimp tooling. This termination is common in backplane and high-reliability telecom assemblies where rework, field upgrades, or dense pin layouts make soldering impractical. The stamped socket body accepts the wire-wrap post, so the contact is first inserted into the housing, then the wire is wrapped. No special crimp die is needed — just a wire-wrap gun and the correct wire gauge.
