Souriau Sunbank by Eaton Male Crimp Circular Connector Contact, 16A, 16/18 AWG, Gold over Nickel, SM16ML1S6

The Souriau Sunbank by Eaton SM16ML1S6 Male Crimp Circular Connector Contact is an advanced signal transmission component designed for seamless integration into Trim Trio SM series and compatible connectors. This contact is engineered for a crimp termination method, allowing professional and reliable assembly in wired electronic systems.

Manufactured from high-strength copper alloy, the SM16ML1S6 offers long-lasting durability and consistent performance across demanding industrial and electronic applications. Its surface features a gold over nickel plating, conferring improved conductivity and minimizing long-term contact resistance even under high-vibration or frequent mating cycles.

The contact supports both 16AWG and 18AWG wire sizes, making it compatible with a broad range of international wiring standards. With an impressive 13A current rating and a maximum operating voltage of 750V, this component can handle critical signal and low to moderate power transfer tasks within electrical panels, machinery, and field-deployed devices.

Its crimp termination is compatible with standard industrial hand tools and crimp die sets, including S16SCM20, S16SCML11, and S16SCML1, streamlining installation in both factory and field conditions. The contact length is 28 mm, designed for correct fitment within designated connector cavities.

Operating reliably in temperatures ranging from -55°C up to 125°C, the SM16ML1S6 is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations subject to varied climate and operational stress. The signal contact type ensures suitability for data, sensor, and control applications where signal integrity and system uptime are paramount.

Industrial and commercial engineers will find this contact ideal for power distribution, panel building, automation, energy systems, high-density connectors, and industrial signal wiring. With its robust design and strict technical tolerances, it is trusted for device builds in manufacturing, railways, aerospace, and laboratory equipment. The two-piece construction with a dual-purpose retention spring further protects the contact body against mechanical damage.

For use with Souriau SHANDLES crimp hand tools and compatible die sets. Suitable for automation, electrical distribution, control panels, heavy equipment, and more.
