FAQs
SM16M11S6 supports 16 to 18 AWG wire, designed for use with Souriau SC/SM series connectors. The contact is reeled for easy feeding into automated crimping systems and ensures reliable mating within the SC/SM housing footprint.
Use a compatible crimp tool for stamped and formed contacts, ensure insulation grip engages properly, and verify that the crimp height and insulation insulation are within specification. Inspect the finished termination for full contact seat, proper foil/tin plating exposure, and absence of damage.
Yes. The contact is RoHS and REACH compliant, supporting regulatory alignment across EU and global markets. This minimizes compliance risk for international installations and simplifies procurement documentation.
The contact measures 28 mm in length, with a width of 3.7 mm and a height of 3.2 mm. It weighs approximately 0.4 g and is designed for 16 AWG wiring with gold on the active part and tin on the rear part.
Best suited for industrial automation harnesses, control panels, and compact connector assemblies where space is at a premium and vibration tolerance is required. Its insulation grip and corrosion-resistant plating provide reliable performance in challenging environments and high-volume production lines.
