Eaton SM16M1D70 Crimp Contact - RoHS/REACH Gold
Part Number: SM16M1D70
Quick Summary
SM16M1D70 crimp contacts enable reliable, high-integrity connections in Souriau SC/SM interconnects for aerospace and industrial systems. Engineers often struggle to secure consistent contact performance on compact terminals inside tight enclosures. RoHS and REACH compliance support global regulatory alignment while helping ensure material safety and traceability across the value chain. The stamped and formed design, with selective gold plating on the active part and nickel on the rear, delivers robust electrical contact life even in vibration-prone applications. These gold-plated, 16 AWG rated contacts are compatible with 16–18 AWG wires and come reeled for efficient, high-volume assembly, facilitating cost-effective, scalable production.

FAQs
SM16M1D70 is designed for the Souriau SC/SM interconnect family, supporting a 16 AWG contact size with a minimum 18 AWG compatibility. It comes in a reeled packaging format to optimize high-volume crimping workflows in aerospace, automotive, and industrial automation installations.
The SM16M1D70 supports 16 AWG maximum and 18 AWG minimum wire sizes, enabling a broad wiring range within a single contact family. The contact is a male pin, stamped and formed with gold plating on the active part and nickel on the rear, designed for reliable crimp termination in Souriau SC/SM assemblies.
Best-suited applications include aerospace avionics, industrial automation panels, robotics, and automotive control systems where compact, vibration-tolerant crimps are essential. The reel packaging and 28 mm long form factor support high-volume assembly while maintaining mating reliability in harsh environments.
Yes. SM16M1D70 adheres to RoHS and REACH environmental standards, ensuring material safety and regulatory compliance across global supply chains. This reduces risk during audit processes and supports sustainability goals in regulated markets such as aerospace and automotive.
The combination of stamped and formed manufacturing, gold-on-active plating, and robust 16–18 AWG compatibility minimizes contact resistance and wear, leading to fewer maintenance events and longer life in vibration-prone systems. High-volume, reeled packaging also lowers labor costs and speeds deployment in production lines.
