Eaton SC16ML11S18 Crimp Contacts - REACH RoHS Compliant
Part Number: SC16ML11S18
Quick Summary
SC16ML11S18 is a stamped and formed crimp contact for Souriau SC/SM connectors. Engineers struggle with unreliable terminations under vibration or harsh environments. RoHS and REACH compliance provide regulatory assurance for European and global assemblies. Bulk packaging simplifies stocking, while gold-on-active tin-on-rear plating boosts durability in automation panels. For teams upgrading legacy equipment, this design reduces maintenance intervals and expedites field repairs; compatibility with 16 AWG to 18 AWG wires ensures broad use across control cabinets. Designed for high mating cycles and low contact resistance, these contacts meet demanding industrial automation scenarios. Their compact form enables dense connector layouts without sacrificing performance.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SC16ML11S18 is a female stamped and formed crimp contact sized for #16 (1.6 mm) wiring, delivering consistent mating integrity and repeatable crimp compression. This translates to lower field failure rates in automation panels and equipment requiring rugged connections, especially where space is constrained and bulk packaging is preferred for stock management in manufacturing environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold on the active part and tin on the rear part delivers reliable conductivity with corrosion resistance, extending service life in exposed or humid environments and reducing maintenance cycles on control cabinets and machinery. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Insulation grip enhances handling and mis-crimp prevention during installation, enabling faster field wiring and improved installer confidence in high-density harnesses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatible with wire size AWG 16–18 and a bulk packaging approach, which lowers upfront costs and simplifies sourcing for OEMs and integrators conducting large-scale panel upgrades. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Manufactured via stamping and forming, this process provides consistent geometry and lower per-unit cost over high-volume runs, supporting cost-competitive replacements in legacy equipment. In addition, RoHS and REACH compliance reassures procurement teams about regulatory alignment across global supply chains, while the Souriau SC/SM family compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing connector platforms.
