Eaton SC16M1D70 Contact (Crimp) - RoHS Compliant
Part Number: SC16M1D70
Quick Summary
The Eaton SC16M1D70 crimp contact delivers reliable female socket connections for compact harnesses in industrial controls. Manufacturers often battle inconsistent gold plating and reel-based handling that slow assembly and raise warranty risk. This family is RoHS and REACH compliant for global regulatory acceptance, ensuring sustainability and compliance across markets. The stamped-and-formed design offers precise mating with SC/SM series connectors, while reel packaging supports high-volume automation. By pairing with 16 AWG wiring and a tight form factor, this contact reduces rework and improves time-to-market, providing a clear business advantage for high-mix, low-volume or high-volume assemblies. Designed for easy field service and consistent performance under vibration and temperature changes.

FAQs
The SC16M1D70 is a female socket contact designed for the Eaton Souriau SC/SM series. It accepts 16 AWG wiring, features gold on the active part with nickel on the rear, and is provided on a reel to suit automated crimping equipment. Verify mating with the corresponding SC/SM housing and use the correct crimp die for consistent results.
SC16M1D70 supports wire sizes from 18 AWG minimum to 16 AWG maximum, with 16 AWG used for power paths and 18 AWG for signal lines. This range enables flexible harness designs while maintaining reliable crimp and stable electrical performance across mating cycles.
This contact is well-suited for industrial automation, machinery, robotics, and automotive-related harnesses where compact, reliable female crimp connections are needed. Its reel packaging and stamped/formed construction support high-volume assembly lines, reduced rework, and stable performance in vibration-prone environments.
The SC16M1D70 is RoHS and REACH compliant, helping you meet global environmental and regulatory requirements. This reduces compliance risk in international procurement and simplifies traceability for supplier quality programs and sustainability reporting.
Reel packaging enables automated feeders and continuous crimping on high-volume lines, reducing handling damage and labor costs. The combination of stamped/formed manufacture and gold-on-active plating provides durable contacts with predictable lifecycle performance, lowering maintenance needs and improving overall return on investment in automated harness assemblies.
