0462-210-1231 Deutsch Size 12 Solid Socket Contact - 12-14 AWG Palladium/Nickel/Gold

0462-210-1231 is a DEUTSCH Size 12 solid socket contact for 12-14 AWG (2-3 mm²) copper wire, with palladium-nickel plating at the mating interface and gold plating at the wire termination area.

This Deutsch connector terminal uses an indent crimp and a 2.4 mm mating interface, with a typical current rating of 25 A. The mixed PdNi/Gold plating configuration is the key distinction from standard nickel-plated Size 12 contacts and should be matched to the electrical and environmental requirements of the harness.

Choose 0462-210-1231 when a Size 12 socket contact is required for 12-14 AWG wire and the specification calls for a palladium-nickel mating interface with a gold termination area.

Typical applications include higher-current power circuits in heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles, industrial equipment and rugged harness assemblies.
