Eaton SM14ML1S6 Crimp Contact - RoHS & REACH Compliance
Part Number: SM14ML1S6
Quick Summary
The Eaton SM14ML1S6 crimp contact enables robust pin connections for Souriau SC/SM harnesses used in demanding industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with mating reliability, plating retention, and managing tight harness geometries; this solution delivers repeatable crimps, gold-on-active plating, and bulk packaging for high-volume assembly. RoHS and REACH compliance are standard, underscoring environmental responsibility while the stamping-and-formed process ensures consistent geometry and reliable performance in panel and cabinet installations. Designed for automotive controls, industrial automation, and machinery applications, this contact supports efficient sourcing and total-cost-of-ownership improvements across engineering and procurement teams.

FAQs
To install SM14ML1S6, crimp the contact onto a 14 AWG wire within the specified min/max range using the correct crimp tool and die set. Ensure proper seating in the Souriau SC/SM housing to avoid loose mating and measure the crimp until it is square and secure. The component’s 28 mm length and 2.9 mm width help with precise alignment in constrained harness geometries, while gold-on-active plating enhances corrosion resistance at the contact surface.
SM14ML1S6 features a male pin, crimp contact designed for 16 AWG wiring with a 14 AWG range. Dimensions include 28 mm length, 2.4 mm height, 2.9 mm width, and 2.4 mm diameter, with an approximate weight of 0.4 g. Plating is gold on the active part and tin on the rear. It is packaged bulk for high-volume assembly.
Yes. The SM14ML1S6 is designed for Souriau SC/SM series harnesses used in automotive controls and industrial automation. Its RoHS and REACH compliance supports regulatory requirements, while the stamping-and-formed process ensures repeatable crimps. Compatibility with 14 AWG wires and bulk packaging supports high-volume builds typical in automotive and factory automation environments.
The SM14ML1S6 is RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory requirements across many manufacturing regions. The data does not list SIL, CE, or IP ratings for this specific contact, but the RoHS/REACH certifications provide essential regulatory assurances for most industrial and automotive applications.
Using bulk-packaged, stamped-and-formed SM14ML1S6 contacts reduces per-unit waste and simplifies inventory management. Consistent crimp geometry minimizes rework and improves first-pass yield, translating to lower maintenance costs and faster ROI on panel builds, spare parts programs, and high-volume automation projects. Reliability and standardized tooling further support predictable lifecycle performance.
