FAQs
SM14ML1TK6 supports 14 AWG wires, with both minimum and maximum wire sizes specified as 14 AWG, matching the 1.6 mm (#16) stamping profile. It is designed for use with Souriau SC/SM series connectors, ensuring reliable terminations for standard automation and control harnesses. This compatibility minimizes the need for swappable contact families in shared assemblies.
The stamped and formed construction with tin pre plating delivers consistent cross-section and resistance to corrosion, which helps maintain low contact resistance under vibration. When mated in Souriau SC/SM connectors, crimped terminations stay secure, reducing intermittent connections and improving overall reliability in conveyors, machining centers, and other vibration-prone automation equipment.
Yes. SM14ML1TK6 is RoHS and REACH compliant, supporting regulatory compliance across global manufacturing facilities. This enables risk-managed procurement for automotive, machinery, and industrial automation projects, ensuring that the contact material and finish meet stringent environmental and safety standards while preserving performance in demanding environments.
Yes, SM14ML1TK6 is offered in bulk packaging, which streamlines high-volume harness assembly and reduces handling time. The bulk format pairs well with automated or semi-automated crimping processes on production lines, and the tin plating provides reliable terminations for continuous, large-scale installations involving 14 AWG wiring in Souriau SC/SM series systems.
Use a compatible crimp tool designed for stamped and formed tin-plated contacts and verify the 14 AWG wire size range. Follow the Souriau datasheet BSC200178001A guidance for crimp height and alignment to ensure uniform contact pressure. After crimping, inspect for a solid mechanical lock and low-resistance electrical path to maximize long-term reliability in automated equipment.
