031-8703-052 Circular Connector Contact, Socket, 20 A — BOLTON SKU 61299.
About the 031-8703-052 Circular Socket Contact, 20
This item is a socket contact for circular connectors, supplied under the part designation 031-8703-052 and rated for 20 A. A socket contact is the female half of a mating contact pair: it is terminated to the conductor and then loaded into a cavity in the connector insert, where it receives the corresponding pin from the mating half and is held in place by a retention feature. Contacts are ordered separately from shells and inserts so that a harness can be built with the wire gauge, plating and current rating that each circuit actually requires, and so that a single damaged contact can be replaced without scrapping the connector body. The 20 A rating places this contact in the power range rather than the signal range. Contact size, wire gauge range, termination method and plating are not stated in the designation and should be confirmed against the manufacturer datasheet at enquiry.

Typical applications
Socket contacts at a 20 A rating are used on the power circuits of circular connectors: motor and actuator feeds, battery and distribution lines, heater and lamp supplies, and generator or alternator connections. Sockets are normally specified on the energised side of a separable interface, since a recessed socket is less exposed than a pin when the pair is unmated. Contacts of this class are installed and removed with insertion and extraction tooling matched to the contact size, which should be identified before a harness is built or reworked.
