Eaton SC16ML11TK6 Contact - Tin Plated, RoHS
Part Number: SC16ML11TK6
Quick Summary
SC16ML11TK6 is a stamped and formed crimp contact for Eaton Souriau SC/SM connectors used in industrial control panels. Customers often struggle with slow harness assembly and unreliable contacts under vibration, which this bulk, tin-plated design helps mitigate. RoHS and REACH compliance support your environmental and regulatory programs. Used with 16 AWG to 18 AWG wires, this contact improves installation speed and long-term reliability in automation panels. The design also supports seamless sourcing with bulk packaging and compatible crimp tooling for faster project ramp-up. This makes it easier to meet project schedules and maintenance windows in industrial automation environments.

FAQs
SC16ML11TK6 is designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series sockets and fits standard crimp tools used in automation harnesses. For proper installation, verify wire size (18–16 AWG), ensure tin-plated contact seating, and confirm insulation grip engagement. Using the correct crimp die and ensuring a full crimp without insulation damage minimizes rework and guarantees reliable electrical contact in dense panel layouts.
Key specs include a 19 mm length, 3.1 mm width, 3.3 mm diameter, and a 0.3 g weight. It accommodates 18–16 AWG wires, is a socket (female) crimp contact, and features tin pre plating with insulation grip. The contact is stamped and formed for consistent geometry, suitable for bulk procurement and high-volume harnessing in SC/SM assemblies.
Yes. The stamped and formed design coupled with insulation grip provides secure seating and insulation integrity, reducing the risk of intermittent connections under vibration. Tin plating improves conductivity and corrosion resistance, contributing to stable performance in harsh factory floors and mechanical assemblies where movement and shocks are common.
SC16ML11TK6 is RoHS and REACH compliant, meeting European environmental and safety requirements. This alignment supports regulatory procurement, reduces risk during audits, and simplifies cross-border sourcing for multinational manufacturing and assembly facilities.
The combination of bulk packaging, tin pre plating, and compatibility with common 16 AWG wiring translates to faster harness assembly, less rework, and longer service life due to improved corrosion resistance. For high-volume production, these factors reduce labor costs, minimize downtime, and deliver predictable maintenance cycles in automation projects.
