Molex 5556 Series Female Crimp Terminal, 16 AWG Min Crimp, 16 AWG Max

Use this Molex female crimp contact to make a secure electrical connection to terminal wires sized 16AWG (American Wire Gauge) or to a PCB (printed circuit board). The pin and receptacle terminals offer multiple points of contact that create a strong connection and offer a high current capacity. Locking tangs grasp the contact to hold it securely in the housing and provide greater durability. This contact can handle harsh industrial environments, as it has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

The bond created by a crimp contact is mechanically stronger than the alloy bond in a solder contact. Also, crimp contacts create an airtight seal, so no moisture or debris can get in and contaminate the connection. This all adds up to greater reliability and a long-lasting join.
