Eaton SC16M1S6REV SC/SM Contacts - RoHS REACH
Part Number: SC16M1S6REV
Quick Summary
Eaton SC16M1S6REV is a stamped and formed contact designed for high-density SC/SM interconnects in harness assemblies. This precision component addresses the challenge of unreliable crimps and inconsistent plating that can drive assembly rework and field failures. The family adheres to RoHS and REACH environmental standards, ensuring regulatory compliance across global deployments. By optimizing gold-on-active and tin-on-rear plating and supporting 18–16 AWG wire, it delivers reliable, corrosion-resistant connections. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to lower touch labor, reduced spare-part costs, and cleaner, more predictable manufacturing outcomes.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → The SC16M1S6REV uses a #16 stamped and formed contact with gold on the active portion and tin on the rear, delivering superior corrosion resistance and low contact resistance. Business Impact → This translates to longer service life in harsh environments and reduced maintenance costs. Application → Ideal for automotive harnesses and industrial control panels where reliable crimped connections are critical. Feature → Reeled packaging enables automated feeding, reducing line stoppages and misfeeds. Business Impact → Results in faster assembly, lower labor costs, and improved throughput. Application → Suitable for high-volume harness manufacturing and field-service kits. Feature → Wire-size compatibility of 18–16 AWG provides flexible termination options. Business Impact → Streamlines inventory management and minimizes tooling changes. Application → Fits common field wires in SC/SM interconnects across robotics and machine control. Feature → Compact form factor with 19 mm length, 3.3 mm height, 3.1 mm width, and 0.3 g weight enables higher channel density. Business Impact → Increases connector capacity without enlarging housings, supporting smaller panel footprints. Application → Used in compact control panels and space-constrained automotive harness assemblies. Feature → Stamped and formed manufacturing process delivers consistent geometry and repeatable crimp force. Business Impact → Reduces rejects and rework while improving yield. Application → Suitable for high-reliability electrical assemblies in harsh environments.

FAQs
SC16M1S6REV is a socket (female) crimp contact designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series interconnects. It is compatible with standard SC/SM housings that accept 16 AWG termination and uses a stamped and formed process for consistent crimp geometry. Ensure your crimp tooling matches 16 AWG and the housing is rated for RoHS/REACH compliant assemblies to maintain reliability.
The contact terminates 18–16 AWG wires, with gold plating on the active part and tin plating on the rear. This combination improves corrosion resistance and contact durability, reducing wear under repeated mating cycles and ensuring stable electrical performance in demanding environments.
Yes. Its stamped and formed construction, gold-on-active plating, and compact 19 mm length support high-density interconnects common in automotive harnesses and industrial control panels. Reeled packaging and 18–16 AWG compatibility further enable efficient mass production and field maintenance in these sectors.
The SC16M1S6REV series complies with RoHS and REACH environmental standards, helping manufacturers meet global regulatory requirements. Always confirm additional certifications for specific regions or industries, but this part is designed to minimize compliance risk in common automation and vehicle applications.
Because the contact uses a stamped and formed process with consistent geometry and gold-on-active plating, maintenance intervals are extended due to lower contact resistance and improved wear resistance. The reel packaging supports automated insertion, reducing labor and downtime on high-volume lines, and overall field reliability minimizes spare parts and warranty costs.
