Manufacturing process
Machined
Machined socket contact delivers tight tolerances and consistent contact force, enhancing electrical reliability in high-current bus bars. This reduces contact resistance variability and mitigates intermittent failures in demanding automation environments, making it ideal for motor drives and power distribution panels. The 12 AWG crimp size accommodates standard wiring harness practices, enabling robust terminations with common crimp tooling and reducing install time on assembly lines. Silver plating provides superior corrosion resistance, extending service life in humid or outdoor facilities and helping to meet longevity targets for critical equipment. Bulk packaging streamlines kit building and field redeployments, lowering handling costs and accelerating on-site work orders for large-scale installations. Aligning with the Souriau 8291 series ensures consistent interconnect performance across the family, simplifying spares strategy and reducing part variance in complex power networks. Machined manufacturing delivers repeatable quality and traceability, supporting stringent quality audits in manufacturing and maintenance workflows.

FAQs
The 82911466A is a female machined crimp socket contact designed for the Souriau 8291 series power solutions. It uses a 12 AWG contact size and is intended for standard crimp tooling. To ensure a reliable termination, use tooling calibrated for precision crimping on size 12 contacts and verify conformity with the BSD202333002.pdf drawings referenced in Eaton’s documentation.
This contact supports 12 AWG wire, with a maximum core compatibility up to AWG #8. While the part is sized for 12 AWG crimping, always validate the current rating and harness requirements for your specific assembly per your enclosure and cabling standards, referencing the 8291 family guidelines.
The part lists RoHS and REACH environmental compliance. There is no specified automotive CE rating or IP protection data for this exact component. It is intended for industrial automation and power distribution applications where RoHS/REACH compliance is valued, but for automotive use you should confirm the exact regulatory requirements and seek the appropriate part for that sector.
Bulk packaging supports fast kit assembly and large-scale deployments, but requires careful pre-sorting and quality checks to ensure correct orientation and mating with Souriau housings. Use standard crimp tools matched to size 12 contacts, and plan for inventory staging to minimize handling time on the line. Refer to the BSD drawing set for installation geometry and tolerance guidance.
Machined crimp sockets offer consistent contact performance, reducing intermittent failures and rework. Silver plating enhances corrosion resistance, extending service life in challenging environments. The combination lowers maintenance costs, accelerates installation times, and improves uptime across power distribution networks, delivering tangible ROI through reduced downtime and streamlined sourcing from the Souriau 8291 family.
