66593-1: Multimate VI Stamped Pin Contact
The tin contact finish suits applications where moderate mating cycles and cost efficiency are priorities — think internal harnesses in industrial equipment or power supplies where the connector isn't cycled daily.
Tin Finish and Wire Range
The tin contact finish on the 66593-1 is the standard choice for cost-sensitive, moderate-duty interconnects. Tin works well for applications with fewer than 25-50 mating cycles and where the operating environment is dry and non-corrosive. The 20-24 AWG wire gauge range covers common signal and low-power circuit sizes — 20 AWG for a bit more current capacity, 24 AWG for signal-level runs.
Crimp Tooling and Mating
Crimp termination requires a tool compatible with Multimate VI stamped contacts — typically a hand-crimp tool with the correct die set for 20-24 AWG and the contact barrel dimensions. The pin inserts into a Multimate VI housing cavity and locks with the retention tines. For a complete mated pair, pair this pin with the matching socket contact (TE 66593-2) in the same series housing.
