SC16M-1S6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SC16M-1S6 is a socket contact connector from the Trim Trio® SM/SC-M series manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton. This stamped socket contact is designed for 16-18 AWG wire applications with gold crimp termination. The part is currently Active in product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation.

Substitute parts are identified when packaging configurations differ while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This allows for flexible sourcing options based on inventory availability and procurement requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between SC16M-1S6 and SC16ML-1S6 is valid based on the following criteria:

Identical Electrical Parameters:

• Wire gauge specification (16-18 AWG)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Contact material composition (Copper Alloy)
• Contact finish type and thickness (Gold, 29.5µin)

Identical Mechanical Parameters:

• Contact configuration (Socket)
• Construction method (Stamped)
• Series designation (Trim Trio® SM/SC-M)

Identical Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.90.4000

Differentiating Factor: The only distinction between these parts is packaging configuration. SC16M-1S6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, while SC16ML-1S6 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SC16M-1S6 and SC16ML-1S6 are Active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

SC16M-1S6 (Cut Tape Packaging): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring tape-and-reel format. Current inventory: 3055 pieces.

SC16ML-1S6 (Bulk Packaging): Suitable for manual assembly operations or applications requiring loose component handling. Current inventory: 9686 pieces.

Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial applications. The gold contact finish with 29.5µin thickness provides consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC16ML-1S6 replace SC16M-1S6 in my application?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Cut Tape). Substitution is valid provided your assembly process can accommodate the packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or applications where loose components are preferred. The contact itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both SC16M-1S6 and SC16ML-1S6 carry identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and export classification (EAR99). They are interchangeable from a regulatory standpoint.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these socket contacts?

A: Both parts support 16-18 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination. This specification is identical across both variants.

Q: What is the contact finish specification?

A: Both parts feature gold plating with a thickness of 29.5µin (0.75µm) applied over copper alloy base material. This finish specification is consistent across both part numbers.

Q: Which part should I select based on current inventory?

A: SC16ML-1S6 has higher current inventory (9686 pieces) compared to SC16M-1S6 (3055 pieces). If inventory availability is a selection criterion, SC16ML-1S6 offers greater stock depth.
