Eaton SC14M1S18 Crimp Contact - Gold on Active, Tin on Rear
Part Number: SC14M1S18
Quick Summary
Eaton SC14M1S18 crimp contact delivers reliable female connections within SC/SM series harnesses used across industrial control and automation systems. Engineers often wrestle with inconsistent crimps, corrosion risk, and high field-maintenance costs when relying on stamped and formed contacts. This solution emphasizes REACH and RoHS compliance while leveraging gold-on-active and tin-on-rear plating to optimize signal integrity and longevity in demanding environments. By aligning with reel-fed automation and compatible 14 AWG wiring, you gain repeatable performance, reduced rework, and a clearer path to scalable production. In short, SC14M1S18 supports robust interconnects for mission-critical control networks while delivering tangible business value.

Feature: Female stamped and formed crimp contact, size #16 and #20, in a reeled packaging format. Business Impact: Enables high-volume automation with consistent crimps and reduced scrap, cutting assembly time and waste. Application: SC/SM series harnesses in automated control cabinets. The SC14M1S18 is designed to feed directly into reel-based crimp systems, lowering operator variance and improving throughput. Feature: Gold on active part, Tin on rear plating. Business Impact: Improves contact reliability and corrosion resistance, extending connector life in fluctuating temperatures and humid environments. Application: Sensor and controller circuits in harsh industrial settings, where signal integrity is critical. Feature: Wire size compatibility 14 AWG (min and max). Business Impact: Simplifies design by supporting a broad 14 AWG wire range, reducing the need for multiple contact variants. Application: Power and signal harnesses in machine automation and motor control. Feature: Compact dimensions (19 mm length, 3.1 mm width, 3.3 mm height) and weight about 0.3 g. Business Impact: Enables dense, multi-position interconnects in tight spaces, improving panel real estate and airflow. Application: Compact control panels and industrial robots. Feature: Manufacturing process stamped and formed. Business Impact: Delivers cost-effective, repeatable production suitable for high-volume suppliers and consistent quality across lots. Application: Automotive and industrial equipment assemblies where traceability and batch consistency matter. Feature: REACH and RoHS compliant environmental specification. Business Impact: Reduces regulatory risk and supports sustainability programs, aiding supplier qualification and customer audits. Application: Global deployments with strict supplier standards and compliance requirements.

FAQs
SC14M1S18 is a female stamped and formed crimp contact designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It fits reel-fed harness assemblies that use 14 AWG wire and the #16/#20 contact sizes. For best results, use with SC/SM mating interfaces and compatible crimp tools designed for stamped contacts.
Key specs include size #16 (1.6 mm) and #20 (1.0 mm) stamped contacts, 19 mm length, 3.3 mm height, 3.1 mm width, and weight around 0.3 g. Plating is Gold on the active part and Tin on the rear. Packaging is reeled, and it supports 14 AWG wire within the specified range.
SC14M1S18 is geared toward industrial control and automation harnesses, with a compact form factor and reel packaging that suits high-volume production. While it offers robust plating and stamping, confirm additional approvals (e.g., CE, IP ratings) required by automotive or aerospace programs beyond the RoHS/REACH compliance documented here.
Yes. The contact is specified as RoHS and REACH compliant, addressing restricted substances and environmental safety. This supports global product qualification and customer audits, particularly for assemblies in regulated markets and supply chains emphasizing sustainability.
The reel packaging and stamped-formed construction enable fast, repeatable automated crimps with minimal rework, reducing labor costs and cycle times. Its broad 14 AWG compatibility and compact dimensions improve panel density, while consistent plating and performance lower field returns and warranty risk in high-volume deployments.
