Eaton SM14M1S31 Crimp Contacts - Gold plating
Part Number: SM14M1S31
Quick Summary
Eaton SM14M1S31 crimp contacts are designed for reliable, stamped and formed connections in Souriau SC/SM series harnesses used in automation and control panels. Engineers often face inconsistent terminations that drift under vibration, heat, or misalignment, leading to rework and project delays. These contacts feature gold on the active part with nickel on the rear and meet environmental standards such as REACH and RoHS, supporting compliant deployments. With a compact 28 mm length, 2.4 mm diameter, and 2.9 mm width, they fit tight harness routes while maintaining robust electrical performance. Selecting this Eaton solution supports standardization, reduces maintenance cycles, and improves procurement predictability across automation platforms.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature stamping and forming → Business Impact: Consistent terminations with reduced crimp variability throughout high-volume runs. Application: Souriau SC/SM series harness assemblies in industrial automation. These stamped and formed contacts enable repeatable, reliable connections in robotic controllers and drive panels, lowering rework and warranty exposure. Feature wire size compatibility → Business Impact: Supports 14 AWG control wiring up to 14 AWG minimum, enabling common industry wiring scenarios without adapters. Application: Control cabinets and field wiring where standard harnesses are preferred, improving install speed and reducing part proliferation. Feature plating scheme → Business Impact: Gold on active part with nickel on rear part delivers improved corrosion resistance and contact longevity in harsh environments. Application: Motors, drives, and equipment subject to vibration, humidity, or temperature cycling, enhancing uptime and reducing maintenance costs. Feature packaging type → Business Impact: Reeled packaging streamlines feeding into automated crimping or high-speed insertion lines, reducing handling time. Application: High-volume production lines in electrical assembly and harness manufacturing. Feature environmental compliance → Business Impact: REACH and RoHS compliance mitigates regulatory risk and eases supplier qualification. Application: Industrial equipment OEMs targeting global markets and strict environmental standards. Feature compact dimensions → Business Impact: 28 mm length, 2.4 mm diameter, and 2.9 mm width enable tight routing in compact control panels. Application: Space-constrained automation cabinets, robotics, and compact sensor interfaces, ensuring robust fitment without compromising performance.
