Eaton SC16M1S18 Crimp Contacts - RoHS & REACH
Part Number: SC16M1S18
Quick Summary
The Eaton SC16M1S18 crimp contacts enable reliable female-terminal connections in harness assemblies used across industrial automation. Designers and buyers often struggle with inconsistent crimps, misalignment, and downtime when parts aren’t fully compatible with existing SC/SM connectors. RoHS and REACH compliance help your global supply chain stay compliant while you scale production. This solution’s stamped-and-formed design, gold-on-active plating, and reeled packaging translate to lower scrap, faster assembly, and predictable performance. In practice, engineers gain repeatable crimps, compatible interfaces, and lifecycle cost savings across automation builds.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature: stamped and formed construction for SC/SM series size 16 (1.6 mm) and size 20 (1.0 mm) contacts → Business Impact: tight tolerances enable consistent crimp performance and reduced rework in high-volume assemblies → Application: automotive, industrial automation harnesses, and equipment enclosures. Feature: gold on active part and tin on rear plating → Business Impact: lowers contact resistance and improves corrosion resistance over the product life cycle → Application: harsh industrial environments and long-life power/common circuits. Feature: reeled packaging → Business Impact: supports automated feeding, faster setup, and reduced handling errors → Application: high-volume assembly lines and punch-crimp cells. Feature: wire size range 16–18 AWG and 19 mm length with compact footprint → Business Impact: versatility across harness sizes and simplified bill of materials → Application: control cabinets and distributed power networks. Feature: RoHS and REACH compliant → Business Impact: regulatory alignment and easier supplier qualification → Application: global manufacturing footprints and cross-border supply chains.

FAQs
SC16M1S18 is designed for the Souriau SC/SM mating interfaces featuring socket (female) contacts. It supports 16–18 AWG wires and is supplied reeled for automated crimping. When used with the SC/SM series, it delivers consistent crimps and reliable electrical connection in harness assemblies across automation equipment.
SC16M1S18 supports crimp termination for 16 AWG maximum and 18 AWG minimum, covering a 16–18 AWG range. The contact is stamped and formed for use on a reel, with gold plating on the active portion and tin plating on the rear, optimized for Crimp connections in harnesses.
Yes, SC16M1S18 is RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with global regulatory requirements for hazardous substances. This reduces compliance risk in cross-border production, simplifies supplier audits, and supports sustainability goals while maintaining reliable electrical performance in automation equipment.
Reeled packaging enables seamless integration with high-speed crimping cells and automated feeders, reducing manual handling and setup time. It improves traceability and throughput, lowers scrap through consistent feed accuracy, and supports lean manufacturing practices in control cabinets and power distribution harnesses.
Ensure the mating SC/SM connectors are designed for stamped and formed contacts of size 16 and 18 AWG. Use proper crimp tooling matched to the contact geometry, verify plating integrity (gold on active, tin on rear), and maintain correct reel handling to avoid contamination. This combination delivers repeatable crimps and long-term reliability in automation systems.
