Crimp Contact for the HDP-20 D-Sub Loom
It accepts 18-22 AWG wire and terminates with a crimp tool, giving you a field-repairable connection that beats soldering a one-piece cable every time — give me a pinout and I'll rebuild it, one contact at a time. The contact is made of brass with a gold flash finish on the mating surface. Gold flash is a thin plating layer — enough to prevent corrosion during storage and initial mating, but not rated for the high-cycle duty of thicker gold. For a test-rack loom that gets re-pinned a few times a year, it holds up fine. It ships in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, with Cut Tape (CT) also available for smaller builds. The base product number is 745229, and the full order code for this specific variant is 745229-5.
Mating and Housing Fit
This pin contact mates with any standard AMPLIMITE HDP-20 receptacle housing. The contact is loaded into the housing cavity and crimped to the wire.
