Overview

The TE Connectivity 3-61668-1 Hermaphroditic Contact is a versatile and reliable electrical interconnect solution designed for signal applications within the UTILUX CR series. This contact features a durable brass construction with a tin plating, ensuring excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, critical for maintaining signal integrity in industrial environments. The hermaphroditic design means each contact can function as either a male or female terminal, simplifying inventory management and reducing assembly complexity by eliminating the need for separate male and female components. It is engineered for crimp termination, accommodating wire sizes ranging from 24 to 18 AWG (0.2 to 0.8 mm²), providing a secure and robust electrical connection. The snap-in contact retention mechanism ensures the contact remains firmly in place within the connector housing, preventing accidental dislodgement and contributing to overall system reliability. Manufactured in the USA, this contact adheres to high-quality standards expected from TE Connectivity. Its UNSPSC code is 39121522, categorizing it under electrical connectors and accessories. This component is ideal for applications requiring dependable signal transmission where ease of assembly and inventory efficiency are paramount.
