RS PRO Female Crimp D-Sub Connector Contact, Gold over Nickel, Socket, 20 to 24 AWG, 5A, 481-156

The RS PRO 481-156 Female Crimp D-Sub Connector Contact is a high-quality electrical contact optimized for use in D-sub connector systems. This socket contact is engineered with a female design, making it compatible with standard D-sub pins, and is well-suited for connections in computer hardware, aerospace equipment, telecommunications systems, and general industrial control panels.

Constructed from a robust copper alloy, the contact delivers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, ensuring that signals and moderate power are transmitted efficiently with minimal loss. The contact features a gold over nickel plating; this multi-layer finish offers superior resistance to corrosion and ensures reliable low-resistance connections even in challenging environments exposed to humidity or oxidation.

Designed for crimp termination, these contacts support wire sizes from 24 AWG up to 20 AWG (American Wire Gauge), making them highly versatile and suitable for various wiring tasks. The crimp termination method provides a secure and long-lasting mechanical and electrical connection. For optimum results, compatible crimping tools (such as RS PRO stock number 481-516) should be used for assembly.

The 481-156 contact features a current rating of up to 5A, making it suitable for both signal and low-power circuits found in professional and industrial electronics. The female socket type ensures compatibility with a wide variety of D-sub connector housings and backshells, enabling integration into different assemblies.

This product has been thoroughly tested for quality and reliability, meeting high standards expected of RS PRO components. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for high-density connectors where space and weight are critical.

Typical industrial applications include use in control panels, PLC modules, communication systems, measurement and instrumentation devices, servers, and networking hardware. Its reliable performance also makes it a preferred component for aerospace, defense electronic equipment, and critical telecommunications infrastructure.

If your project requires robust, corrosion-resistant and cost-effective D-sub connector socket contacts supporting crimped wire terminations, the RS PRO 481-156 is an ideal solution.
