FAQs
SM16ML11TK6 is a male stamped and formed crimp contact designed for the Souriau SC/SM series. It fits 16 AWG wiring (min 18 AWG) and is supplied bulk, with insulation grip to ease assembly and ensure proper insulation within SC/SM connector cavities.
The contact is tin pre-plated, sized for 16 AWG, and supports a 16–18 AWG wire range. It measures about 28 mm in length with a 3.2 mm diameter, and 3.7 mm width, weighing roughly 0.4 g. It is a male pin contact intended for crimp termination.
Yes. The SM16ML11TK6 contact is specified as REACH and RoHS compliant, helping you meet regulatory requirements across global manufacturing operations and ensuring safer material usage in automation assemblies.
Ideal for automation harnesses, control panels, sensors, and actuators where compact, reliable connections are required. Its stamping and forming process, combined with insulation grip and tin plating, supports durable field use with reduced maintenance in vibration-prone environments.
Use a proper crimp tool calibrated for 16–18 AWG to ensure a solid crimp, and verify that the insulation grip seats correctly within the connector housing. Bulk packaging helps maintain quick replenishment during builds, while tin plating minimizes corrosion over time in industrial environments.
