Contact Construction and Wire Range
The 770988-1 is a stamped tin-plated brass socket contact from the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series. It accepts 18-22 AWG wire and terminates via crimp. The tin finish suits moderate-cycle applications where cost per termination matters more than high-cycle durability — gold flash would be specified for frequent field servicing.
Housing Compatibility and Mating
This socket contact mates with any Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK pin header or receptacle housing that accepts a stamped socket. The series uses a standard crimp-and-insert method — the contact is loaded into the housing cavity after termination, retained by a locking lance. Confirm the housing cavity count and keying before committing the BOM line.
