This is the pin half of the Multimate III+ system; it mates with the corresponding socket contact in the same series, typically housed in a Multimate III+ connector housing. The stamped construction keeps the per-unit cost down for volume harness builds without sacrificing the mechanical retention the series is known for.
Crimp termination is the standard method — the stamped barrel wraps around the stripped conductor and insulation, and the crimp tooling for the Multimate III+ family produces a consistent pull-force well above the wire break strength. No soldering or special preparation beyond stripping to the correct length.
Gold Plating — What That 30.0µin Means on the Bench
If your harness lives underhood, in a washdown zone, or cycles through a test fixture, this plating grade is the right call. Tin-plated contacts would fret and oxidise faster under those conditions.
