FAQs
SC16ML11S6 is a socket (female) stamped and formed crimp contact designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It supports 18 to 16 AWG wires, fitting typical control wiring in industrial automation and providing a robust solution for tight harness assemblies.
The contact is gold plated on the active portion and tin plated on the rear portion, paired with a crimp contact design. This combination offers improved corrosion resistance and reliable contact performance over life, even in vibration-prone or harsh environments typical of industrial equipment.
Yes. The insulation grip minimizes insulation damage during crimping, while the stamped and formed manufacturing ensures consistent geometry. Together with the SC/SM compatibility and robust plating, this yields dependable retention and signal integrity in high-vibration settings.
SC16ML11S6 is documented as REACH and RoHS compliant, aligning with global regulatory requirements for electrical components and helping streamline procurement across regions with strict environmental standards.
The contacts are provided bulk, simplifying large-scale deployments and minimizing waste. They are designed for straightforward crimp tooling, with a compact form factor (19 mm length, ~3.3 mm cross-section) that fits tight harness routes and supports efficient, scalable installation in automation equipment.
