Manufacturing process
Machined
Silver-plated crimp contact delivers improved conductivity and corrosion resistance, reducing contact resistance and extending life in demanding environments. The machined manufacturing process provides tight tolerances for consistent mating and repeatable performance across assemblies, minimizing rework and delays. Designed for 8 AWG wire, the contact supports reliable high-current connections in power harnesses, enabling engineers to simplify wiring schemes and reduce the number of parallel conductors required. Bulk packaging lowers unit cost and simplifies stocking for procurement teams, improving lead times and inventory control in logistics-heavy environments. Compatibility with the Eaton Souriau 8291 power solution line ensures plug-and-play installation with existing connectors, reducing engineering effort and accelerating integration into machines and panels. Environmentally conscious with REACH and RoHS compliance, the component supports compliant assembly lines and safer product life cycles, while its robust, machined design counters wear in vibration-prone settings.

FAQs
The 82913608A is a socket (female) contact designed for the Souriau 8291 power solution family and supports 8 AWG wire. It is intended for crimp installation in power interconnect assemblies and works best when mated to matching 8291 series male contacts within Eaton’s connector ecosystem. Verify connector housing specifications and tool compatibility for reliable crimping.
Use a properly rated crimp tool and the correct terminal length for 8 AWG wire. Strip length and crimp height must follow manufacturer guidelines to achieve full compression without damaging the conductor. Inspect each crimp for uniformity, ensure silver plating is intact, and verify tension with a pull test to prevent intermittent electrical loss in vibration-prone environments.
Yes, the 8 AWG socket contact is machined for precise fit and silver-plated for corrosion resistance, which helps maintain low contact resistance under vibration. For critical high-vibration applications, pair it with proper latching housings and secure mating to prevent micro-movements that could degrade performance over time.
The product lists REACH and RoHS environmental compliance, aligning with modern sourcing and regulatory requirements. Specific industry certifications such as CE, IP ratings, or SIL are not indicated in the provided data; manufacturers typically verify these against the final assembled product and housing when required by the end application.
Using the 82913608A improves reliability through silver-plated, machined contacts that resist corrosion and wear, reducing maintenance and replacement intervals. The bulk packaging supports lower unit costs and faster replenishment, which translates to shorter downtime, streamlined procurement, and predictable lifecycle costs in control panels and power distribution assemblies.
