Eaton SC16ML1D70 Stamped Contacts - Gold Plating
Part Number: SC16ML1D70
Quick Summary
Eaton SC16ML1D70 stamped contact provides a reliable electrical connection for high-density harnesses in industrial equipment. Too often, loose contacts and inconsistent plating cause intermittent performance in vibration-heavy environments. This solution supports REACH and RoHS environmental compliance, delivering consistent reliability across harsh conditions. By leveraging bulk packaging and gold-on-active plating with nickel on the rear, it enables lower contact resistance and longer life while reducing procurement and maintenance costs. For engineers and buyers, this translates to fewer field failures, simplified spares management, and predictable performance in automated systems and control cabinets.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SC16ML1D70 uses stamped and formed geometry to maintain a robust contact interface, delivering stable electrical performance under vibration. This reduces intermittent failures and supports longer service intervals in rugged industrial equipment, improving overall uptime in manufacturing lines. Application: high-density harnesses in automation controllers and robotics where reliable, compact female contacts are essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold on active part plating with nickel on the rear part minimizes contact resistance and shields against wear during repeated mating cycles. This improves signal integrity and longevity in power and data connections, especially in automation panels and distributed control systems. Application: critical control cabinet wiring and automated machinery where corrosion resistance and low resistance are paramount. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wire size range supports 18 to 16 AWG, enabling flexible wire harness designs and cost-effective tooling. This delivers faster crimping, consistent termination quality, and reduced rework in assembly lines. Application: bulk procurement for large-scale deployments across multiple machines, reducing per-unit cost and simplifying stocking. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with SC/SM series connectors ensures plug-and-play installation with existing Eaton Souriau interfaces, lowering integration risk and accelerating project timelines. Application: new equipment builds and retrofits where standardized interfaces are required for scalable automation architectures.

FAQs
The SC16ML1D70 is designed for standard 16 to 18 AWG wires and uses a crimp termination. Prepare bare conductors, insert into the contact body, and crimp with a tool compatible with stamped and formed gold-on-active-part contacts. Verify contact seating with a visual or tactile check before mating with the SC/SM receptacle to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
Yes. SC16ML1D70 is specified for the Souriau SC/SM family and is offered as a bulk, bare-contact option for size #16 (1.6 mm) interfaces. It matches the mating geometry and crimp criteria of the SC/SM system, enabling straightforward integration without reforming or additional adapters.
SC16ML1D70 supports 16 AWG maximum and 18 AWG minimum wire sizes. This range allows flexible harness designs while maintaining reliable crimp performance. Avoid wires outside this range, as they may compromise contact integrity and electrical performance.
SC16ML1D70 complies with REACH and RoHS environmental standards, helping ensure regulatory compliance in global deployments. While not rated for IP or SIL directly, the plating and materials chosen are designed for durable service in many industrial environments.
Bulk packaging reduces handling and per-unit processing costs, supports faster assembly, and lowers spares inventory strain. For large automation projects using SC/SM interfaces, bulk SCR series contacts like SC16ML1D70 streamline procurement and improve project timelines.
