Eaton SC16M11S18 Crimp Contact - RoHS/REACH
Part Number: SC16M11S18
Quick Summary
Eaton SC16M11S18 crimp contact is a female stamped-and-formed interconnect for high-reliability power and signal assemblies. Engineers often battle unreliable crimps and inconsistent contact seating in dense panel wiring, which can lead to intermittent faults and costly rework. This part carries RoHS and REACH compliance, supporting regulatory alignment across global manufacturing. Leveraging gold on the active contact and tin on the rear, it delivers durable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Packaged on a reel for efficient automated insertion, it also aligns with Souriau SC/SM series, easing kit management and reducing scrap. For designed, repeatable assemblies, SC16M11S18 offers predictability, reduced maintenance, and improved lifecycle cost.

Feature: Female stamped and formed crimp contact, size #16, delivered on a reeled format. Business impact: Precise geometry and a consistent crimp profile drive repeatable electrical performance, reducing scrap and rework in high-volume wiring. Application: Compatible with Souriau SC/SM series connectors for 18–16 AWG conductors in control panels, motors, and industrial machinery where space is constrained. This 1.6 mm contact width aligns with standard mating cavities and the reel packaging supports uninterrupted assembly lines. Feature: Gold on active part with tin on rear plating. Business impact: Dual plating minimizes contact resistance, improves wear resistance, and withstands vibration and thermal cycling to extend service life. Application: Used in critical power and signal paths across automation lines, machine controls, and energy management systems, where predictable performance under repetitive mating is essential. Feature: Insulation grip integrated into the contact. Business impact: Enhances insulation integrity during crimping and assembly, reducing wire exposure and risk of shorting. Application: Particularly valuable in densely packed connectors and when using tight crimp tooling tolerances. Feature: Compact dimensions and low weight. Business impact: The 19 mm length, 3.3 mm height, 3.1 mm width, and 0.3 g weight enable denser panel mounting and lighter harnesses, lowering enclosure size and material costs. Application: Suited for compact industrial equipment, robotics, and control cabinets where space and weight are at a premium. Feature: Reels packaging and RoHS/REACH compliance. Business impact: Reel packaging supports automated feeding, faster line changes, and reduced handling time, while RoHS/REACH compliance simplifies procurement and regulatory validation. Application: Ideal for high-volume manufacturing in automotive, machinery, and process equipment sectors.

FAQs
Yes. SC16M11S18 is designed as a female stamped and formed crimp contact compatible with Souriau SC/SM series housings and supports 18–16 AWG conductors. Its reel packaging is optimized for automated insertion on production lines, and tool compatibility is aided by its insulated grip and standardized crimp geometry.
Key specs include 19 mm length, 3.3 mm height, 3.1 mm width, 3.3 mm diameter, 0.3 g weight, and gold-on-active/tin-on-rear plating with insulation grip. These features deliver low contact resistance, improved wear resistance, and stable performance through vibration and temperature cycling over service life.
SC16M11S18 excels in industrial automation, control panels, robotics, and machinery wiring where 16 AWG conductors are common. It’s particularly effective in compact SC/SM interconnects requiring reliable power and signal paths, dense panel layouts, and reel-fed assembly lines for high-volume production.
The contact is RoHS and REACH compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment across global supply chains. This reduces compliance risk for automotive, medical, and industrial equipment projects and simplifies vendor qualification, audits, and end-product certifications.
Reel packaging enables faster line feeding and reduced handling, boosting throughput and reducing labor costs in high-volume builds. The combination of durable plating, insulation grip, and precise crimp geometry lowers failure rates, maintenance needs, and lifecycle costs for automation assemblies and panel wiring.
