Machined
The gold-plated pin contacts deliver exceptionally low contact resistance and superior corrosion resistance, extending service life in challenging industrial environments where oxidation can undermine performance and cause intermittent faults. Business impact: longer maintenance intervals reduce downtime, lower spare parts spend, and improve overall equipment effectiveness across automated production lines. Application: ideal for Souriau 8291 power solution assemblies in control cabinets, automated warehouses, and heavy-load motor controllers, where space is tight and reliability is non-negotiable. Machining provides tight tolerances and repeatable crimps, delivering consistent electrical performance across thousands of terminations and minimizing variance between connectors on the same harness. This reliability translates into higher first-pass yields during harness assembly and significantly lower risk of intermittent connections in critical power paths. Users appreciate the predictability when crimping 12 AWG conductors and the ability to accommodate up to AWG 8 cores without modification, enabling common tooling across projects. Compatibility with a compact footprint—3.8 mm by 3.8 mm—enables dense packing in constrained panels and multi-channel harnesses that would otherwise require larger terminations. Bulk packaging simplifies procurement for integrators and distributors, reducing handling time and minimizing stockouts during peak build cycles and continuous improvement initiatives. It supports a flexible wire range around 22 AWG, aligning with both legacy harnesses and modern automation cabling practices while maintaining rigorous termination standards. RoHS and REACH certifications help mitigate regulatory risk and streamline compliance documentation for global deployments in power, automation, and control systems. Bulk, machined production ensures traceability, repeatable quality, and straightforward integration with existing Eaton Souriau connector ecosystems across regional supplier networks. In practice, engineers report faster onboarding of new suppliers and shorter qualification cycles when using standardized contact families from the Souriau 8291 lineup.

FAQs
The 82911457NK is a crimp, male pin contact designed for a 12 AWG contact size with a wire range centered around 22 AWG. This combination supports reliable high-current connections while allowing compatibility with common wiring practices in automation panels. When selecting tooling, use standard 12 AWG crimp profiles and verify that the harness wire falls within the 22 AWG range for optimal crimp height and reliability.
The component carries RoHS and REACH compliance, ensuring restricted substance controls and safe material usage for global deployments. For engineers, this reduces regulatory risk, simplifies documentation for audits and customer specifications, and supports compliance across industries such as industrial automation, machinery, and power distribution where regulators require traceable, low-toxicity components.
Yes, 82911457NK is sold in bulk packaging, which streamlines procurement for manufacturers, distributors, and field service teams. Bulk packaging minimizes handling steps, lowers stocking costs, and accelerates kanban-friendly replenishment in high-volume panel builds. For installers, bulk parts reduce downtime caused by missing terminations and simplify workflow in repetitive wiring scenarios.
These contacts are well-suited for automation controllers, power distribution panels, and heavy-load motor drives where dense wiring and reliable power paths are critical. Their compact form factor, gold plating, and 12 AWG contact size enable robust connections in tight spaces, while compatibility with the 8291 series supports scalable design across new builds and retrofits.
Machined manufacture delivers tight tolerances and repeatable crimps, reducing variability and the likelihood of intermittent connections. Gold plating enhances corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments and lowering maintenance intervals. Together, these features deliver measurable reductions in downtime and maintenance costs, significantly improving total cost of ownership for critical power paths.
