Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature: stamped and formed manufacturing delivers consistent crimp geometry across large production runs. Business Impact: reduces rework, improves yield, and lowers total cost of ownership. Application: suitable for high-volume automotive and industrial harness assemblies using Souriau SC/SM connectors. Feature: gold on active part plating with tin on the rear portion enhances contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Business Impact: longer life in harsh environments and lower maintenance frequency. Application: critical for outdoor or high-humidity installations in automation panels. Feature: reel packaging enables automated feeding and faster line throughput. Business Impact: accelerates crimping operations and minimizes manual handling risk. Application: ideal for robotic assembly cells and high-speed wiring projects. Feature: wire size compatibility 24–26 AWG and compact form factor (28 mm L, 2.5 mm H, 3.2 mm W). Business Impact: expands connector fitment options and supports compact harness routing. Application: dense control cabinets and compact equipment enclosures. Feature: gold on active and tin on rear plating supports both contact performance and manufacturability. Business Impact: improves mating durability while simplifying solderless terminations. Application: robust for mixed-signal lines in industrial controls. Feature: RoHS and REACH compliance ensures regulatory alignment. Business Impact: reduces risk of non-compliance penalties and accelerates procurement. Application: standard for European and global automation supply chains.
