Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Stamped and formed construction delivers consistent crimps and repeatable electrical performance across thousands of mating cycles. By eliminating custom hand crimps, this feature reduces assembly time and rejects, delivering measurable efficiency gains on high-mix automation lines. In practice, technicians can rely on a standardized contact that fits the Souriau SC/SM interface with minimal tooling adjustments. Gold on the active contact surface provides low contact resistance and superior wear resistance under vibration and frequent insertion cycles. Tin on the rear portion offers robust corrosion protection in damp environments, extending service life in control cabinets and motor drives. Reeled packaging supports automation-friendly feeding and continuous crimping with high-speed tooling, reducing manual handling. The 28 mm length, 3.2 mm height, and 3.7 mm width create a compact footprint suitable for dense harnesses and tight panel fits. Wire size compatibility of 18 to 16 AWG and the 16 AWG contact size enable direct use with common automation wiring schemes, reducing the need for adapters. RoHS and REACH compliance simplifies procurement across multi-regional deployments and helps avoid reformulation or supplier audits. Manufacturing by stamping and forming supports consistent production quality and cost-effectiveness, enabling reliable interchange within the SM/Souriau family.

FAQs
To install the SM16M1S6REV, align the male stamped and formed contact with the corresponding Souriau SC/SM receptacle, then crimp 18–16 AWG wire into the contact using a compatible crimp tool. Verify correct seating and insulation grip, and confirm the gold-active plating transitions to the mating interface to ensure low contact resistance.
The contact supports 18 to 16 AWG wire, with a maximum 16 AWG cross-section and a minimum 18 AWG. Use the correct size-16 crimp profile to achieve proper crimp height and retention force, which reduces push-out risk and maintains consistent electrical performance over the life of the assembly.
SM16M1S6REV is RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with common procurement standards for electronics and automation equipment. This simplifies supplier audits and regulatory reporting, supporting multi-regional deployments while reducing risk of hazardous substance exposure in assemblies.
Ideal for industrial automation wiring in control panels, servo drives, and intelligent devices requiring compact, reliable 16 AWG connections within Souriau SC/SM modular interfaces. Its reeled packaging and stamped/formed design also simplify integration on high-volume harnesses and reduce assembly time on manufacturing lines.
Using SM16M1S6REV can lower maintenance by delivering durable, low-resistance connections and reducing rework from poor crimps. Gold-on-active and tin-on-rear plating extend life in vibratory environments, while RoHS/REACH compliance minimizes regulatory risk across fleets; together these factors support faster ROI on automation projects through improved uptime and reduced replacement costs.
