Manufacturing process
Machined
The machined, silver-plated socket female crimp contact uses tight tolerances and precise geometry to deliver repeatable crimps and low contact resistance, translating directly into improved electrical reliability for power circuits. This feature reduces heat buildup and mitigates premature wear in high-current pathways, making it well-suited for Souriau 8291 series power solutions in control panels and industrial equipment. The contact size is designed for 12 AWG conductors, with compatibility extending to up to AWG 8 cores, enabling high-current performance while keeping harnesses compact. Silver plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, contributing to longer service life in harsh environments and reducing maintenance costs. RoHS and REACH compliance further minimizes regulatory risk in automotive and industrial applications. The bulk packaging option streamlines procurement, lowers handling costs, and supports efficient inventory management. Machined manufacturing tolerances improve consistency across batches, delivering dependable performance in vibration-prone environments and high-cycle applications. Overall, the combination of form factor, material quality, and process precision supports faster assembly, fewer reworks, and a lower total cost of ownership in power distribution and machinery wiring.

FAQs
The 82911460A is designed for use with Souriau 8291 series power solution components. It is a socket (female) crimp contact sized for 12 AWG conductors and intended to mate with corresponding 8291-series housings. For reliable assembly, use the recommended crimp tooling and verify mating compatibility with the exact housing family to ensure proper retention and vibration resistance in your panel or harness.
The contact is specified for up to AWG #8 core conductors, with a crimp range that accommodates 18 AWG conductors as both minimum and maximum sizes in the documented configuration. When selecting crimp tools and lugs, verify the exact tooling recommendations in BSD202333002 and confirm compatibility with your harness wire gauge and insulation diameter for a reliable, high-current connection.
Yes, the 82911460A is RoHS and REACH compliant, meaning it adheres to restrictions on hazardous substances and registrations for chemical constituents. This helps simplify regulatory approvals for automotive, industrial automation, and data-center equipment, reducing risk during audits and facilitating supplier compliance programs across regions where RoHS and REACH are enforced.
Install with the correct crimp tool designed for 12 AWG/18 AWG ranges and compatible Souriau 8291 housings. Prep the conductor per standard insulation length, insert fully into the contact, and apply the specified crimp profile to achieve proper strand compression. Verify the crimp with the appropriate tool check and perform a pull test or continuity check to confirm low resistance and secure retention in vibration environments.
Bulk packaging supports lower per-unit handling and shipping costs while ensuring consistent supply for large build projects or maintenance cycles. The machined design delivers repeatable crimps and long-term reliability, reducing rework and warranty claims in automated systems. Over time, this translates to faster assembly, lower total cost of ownership, and improved uptime for OEMs and service teams.
