DESCRIPTION

1766196-1 is a Size 12 crimp post-mate pin contact designed for TE Connectivity's FORGE drawer modular power interconnect system. This contact is engineered for use within the FORGE drawer's flexible modular platform, which supports configurations ranging from 1x5 to 2x5 with up to five different contact types per module. The contact operates within the system's mechanical specifications including a maximum insertion force of 16.8 N and extraction force of 10.6 N, with durability rated for a minimum of 250 mating cycles. The connector system supports a voltage rating of 250 V AC for power contacts and operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. This post-mate pin variant is ideal for applications in data centers, industrial systems, energy distribution, and medical equipment where modular power interconnection flexibility and reliable crimp termination are required.
