Eaton SC16ML1S31 Crimp Contacts - Gold on active part
Part Number: SC16ML1S31
Quick Summary
SC16ML1S31 stamped crimp contact is designed for high-reliability connector assemblies in industrial automation. Engineers often struggle with ensuring reliable mating, low contact resistance, and long-term corrosion resistance in tight harnesses. RoHS and REACH compliant design helps meet environmental and regulatory requirements, while gold-on-active and nickel-on-rear plating optimize life-cycle durability. This performance translates to lower maintenance costs and higher uptime, with broad compatibility across Souriau SC/SM interfaces and standard 16 AWG wiring. The compact 19 mm length and small footprint suit dense panel layouts in automated equipment.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Stamped and formed manufacturing yields precise, repeatable contact geometry, reducing intermittent connections and insertion loss; this translates into improved signal integrity and fewer field failures in automation controllers and sensors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wire compatibility for 18–16 AWG enables easy harness integration and reduces tooling changes in mid-volume production lines across automotive and industrial equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold on active part with nickel on rear part provides low contact resistance and robust corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh factory environments and outdoor installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact footprint and 19 mm length with 3.3 mm width/height and 0.3 g weight enable dense harnesses and higher connector density in control panels and robotics. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Bulk packaging reduces handling and material costs for high-volume assemblies, improving overall manufacturing efficiency and uptime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS and REACH compliance supports regulatory alignment across global supply chains, reducing compliance risk for automation projects and enclosures.

FAQs
SC16ML1S31 is a female stamped and formed crimp contact designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series housings. It supports 18–16 AWG wire, is delivered in bulk, and fits 19 mm long cavities with a compact 3.3 mm profile for dense harnesses in industrial automation.
The contact accepts 18–16 AWG wire, uses gold plating on the active part and nickel on the rear, and is part of a stamped and formed manufacturing process. It measures 19 mm in length with a 3.3 mm footprint and weighs about 0.3 g, suitable for robust, high-cycle connections in SC/SM interfaces.
Yes. The gold-on-active with nickel-on-rear plating provides low contact resistance and improved wear and corrosion resistance, while RoHS and REACH compliance support regulatory requirements in industrial settings and harsh factory environments.
Stamped and formed manufacturing delivers consistent geometry, reducing rework due to misalignment. Bulk packaging lowers material handling costs, and the small, standardized 16 AWG footprint enables denser harnesses and faster assembly, delivering lower shorter-term labor costs and longer-term uptime in automation projects.
The SC16ML1S31 contacts are RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with global environmental standards. This reduces compliance risk for projects across regions and helps maintain supply chain integrity without sacrificing performance in automated systems.
