Precision formed socket contacts in Size 16. They are used in M Series, Special M Series, “G” Series, Metrimate, Metrimate Drawer, and CPC Series 1 and 4 connectors. Contacts feature a high normal force which provides a low resistance in significant applications such as dry circuit signal conditions. Mating entry is closed-ended to prevent damage from stubbing due to misalignment. Stainless steel spring provides superior normal force and retention in the housing. AMP proprietary gold plating process is designed so that specified plating thicknesses are controlled on the inside of the socket, which is the critical contact mating area. The contacts are formed from brass. Single contact rating is 13 amperes at 30°C T-Rise. The single contact rating for enhanced high current Type III+ is 24 amperes @ 30°C T-Rise
