Eaton SC16ML1S18 Crimp Contacts - 1.6mm Gold/Tin
Part Number: SC16ML1S18
Quick Summary
Eaton SC16ML1S18 Crimp Contacts provide reliable socket connections for high-density harnesses in industrial controls. Engineers face challenges with inconsistent crimps that cause intermittent signals, rework, and project delays. RoHS and REACH compliance help you meet global regulatory requirements, while Gold on the active contact and Tin on the rear contact improve corrosion resistance and long-term signal integrity. Designed for 16 to 18 AWG wiring and bulk packaging, these contacts support scalable manufacturing, faster assembly, and reduced unit costs across automation, packaging, and energy equipment applications.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Stamped and formed manufacturing delivers consistent tolerances and reduced waste, translating to higher first-pass yields and lower quality cost in high-volume harness production. The 1.6 mm (size #16) contact supports 16–18 AWG wiring, enabling flexible use across common power and control circuits with minimal rework. Gold on the active part and tin on the rear part improve contact durability and corrosion resistance, extending field life for industrial equipment and machinery. The compact 19 mm length with 3.3 mm height and 3.1 mm width enables tight connector packs, reducing panel footprint and enabling streamlined assembly lines. Bulk packaging supports efficient kitting and rapid deployment on large-scale projects, while RoHS and REACH compliance simplifies regulatory approvals and supplier audits for global deployments.

FAQs
SC16ML1S18 is a female stamped and formed crimp contact designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It supports 16–18 AWG wiring and is supplied in bulk for automation and manufacturing lines. It mates with standard Souriau housings to maintain consistent engagement forces and reliable electrical performance in industrial equipment.
SC16ML1S18 accepts 16 to 18 AWG wire, corresponding to a 1.6 mm contact size. It is a female socket contact with gold plating on the active portion and tin plating on the rear, suitable for single-crimp junctions within bulk-packed lots used in control panels and conveyors.
SC16ML1S18 features gold plating on the active contact and tin plating on the rear portion. It weighs approximately 0.3 g, measures 19 mm in length with a height of 3.3 mm and width of 3.1 mm, and is manufactured via stamped and formed processes for consistent performance in harness assemblies.
Yes. SC16ML1S18 complies with RoHS and REACH environmental requirements, supporting regulatory conformity for European and global markets. This helps with supplier audits and approvals in industries such as automotive, industrial machinery, and automation equipment.
Use tooling matched to size #16 contacts, ensure proper wire preparation and insulation length, and verify crimp height and seating for each terminal. Bulk packaging supports high-volume assembly, while cleanliness and inspection practices reduce the risk of cold joints and intermittent connections in critical control or power circuits.
