Overview

The TE Connectivity 66098-7 is a precision-engineered Size 16 pin contact designed for reliable crimp termination in power and signal applications. Constructed from durable brass with a tin plating, this contact ensures excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments. The 66098-7 is part of the AMP Type III+ series, a trusted line of connectors known for robust mechanical performance and consistent signal integrity. This pin contact accommodates wire sizes from 18 to 16 AWG (0.8–1.4 mm²), providing a secure connection for both power delivery and signal transmission. Its crimp termination design allows for efficient assembly and disassembly, reducing downtime in production and maintenance scenarios. The tin plating offers a cost-effective solution for applications requiring reliable electrical contact without the premium cost of gold plating. Compatible with a wide range of AMP connector housings, including CPC (Circular Plastic Connector), CMC (Circular Metal Connector), G Series, M Series, Metrimate Square Grid, and Drawer Connector systems, the 66098-7 ensures seamless integration into existing electrical assemblies. Engineered for use in automotive wiring harnesses, industrial machinery controls, telecommunications equipment, and other high-reliability applications, the 66098-7 delivers consistent performance under stringent operating conditions. The contact’s design supports a 23-amp capability with a 30°C temperature rise in free-air testing, making it suitable for high-current power applications. For optimal results, use with AMP hand tools such as Part No. 601967-1 or turret TH502 (1-601967-6) for crimping.
