Eaton SM14ML1S18 Crimp Contact - Gold/Tin Plating
Part Number: SM14ML1S18
Quick Summary
Eaton SM14ML1S18 crimp contact enables reliable male stamped connections for Souriau SC/SM assemblies used in industrial harnesses and control cables. Engineers routinely grapple with inconsistent crimps that degrade signal integrity and reliability in vibration-heavy environments. This part aligns with RoHS and REACH requirements, supporting compliant automation designs and safer operations. Designed for compact, high-density terminations, it delivers predictable performance in tight panels. With bulk packaging and a small 28 mm length, it simplifies parts handling in high-mix, low-volume builds. The combination of gold on the active contact and tin on the rear enhances contact longevity, while 16 AWG compatibility ensures robust power delivery in 14 AWG wire systems. This translates to faster assembly and lower total cost of ownership.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
The SM14ML1S18 features a compact 28 mm body length and a 2.4 mm height with a 2.9 mm width, all weighing 0.4 g to fit into tight automation panels while preserving strength under vibration. This design supports bulk handling and fast replacement cycles in high-mix environments, reducing downtime. The contact is stamped and formed for consistent crimps, improving installation reliability and signal integrity across Souriau SC/SM connectors. With a 14 AWG conductor capacity, it enables robust power delivery for industrial controls without space penalties. Gold plating on the active portion minimizes contact resistance, while tin on the rear improves corrosion resistance; RoHS and REACH compliance simplifies regulatory attestations. Using this contact reduces waste and rework, lowering total cost of ownership in production lines and service fleets. Bulk packaging streamlines procurement for spares and assemblies.

FAQs
SM14ML1S18 is designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM connectors. It is a male stamped and formed crimp contact with size #16 active and size #20 stamping variants, intended for use with 14 AWG conductors within a 28 mm housing. The bulk-packaged parts simplify stocking for harness assemblies in automation projects.
This contact accommodates 14 AWG conductors with both minimum and maximum wire sizes specified at 14 AWG, providing a snug, reliable fit for power and control circuits. The 16 AWG active contact size supports robust electrical performance in Souriau SC/SM harness assemblies.
The SM14ML1S18 uses gold plating on the active part and tin on the rear part, delivering low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. It is RoHS and REACH compliant, helping you meet environmental and safety requirements in automated equipment and compliant connectors.
Yes. The stamped and formed construction provides consistent crimps and durable contact reliability under vibration and thermal cycling. The gold-on-active plating reduces contact resistance, while bulk packaging supports quick field repairs and spare-part availability in manufacturing lines and automated systems.
The contact measures 28 mm in length, 2.4 mm in height, and 2.9 mm in width, with a 2.4 mm diameter and approximately 0.4 g weight. It is packaged bulk for easy integration into high-mix assembly lines, enabling faster installation and streamlined inventory management.
