Eaton SC20M1D70 Crimp Contact - Gold on Active Part
Part Number: SC20M1D70
Quick Summary
Eaton SC20M1D70 is a stamped and formed crimp contact for modular SC/SM connectors used in industrial automation. Engineers often face reliability challenges in harsh environments, where inconsistent crimps and corrosion can compromise signal integrity. This solution features selective gold plating on the active portion and nickel on the rear, with RoHS and REACH compliance to meet modern regulatory expectations. The reeled packaging supports high-volume automated assembly, reducing handling time and waste. By supporting 22–20 AWG wires with a compact 19 mm length and a narrow footprint, it offers installation flexibility and measurable cost savings across panel builds and harness assemblies.

FAQs
The SC20M1D70 is designed for SC/SM series sockets with 22–20 AWG wires. Use a compatible crimp tool to achieve the correct crimp height and verify proper seating in the connector housing. The reeled packaging supports feeding through automated feeders, reducing handling and improving throughput during panel or harness assemblies.
This contact provides gold on the active portion with nickel on the rear, delivering low contact resistance and good corrosion resistance. It accommodates wires from 22 to 20 AWG, with a compact 19 mm length and a 3.1–3.3 mm width footprint, suitable for moderate current and signal applications in automation systems.
Yes. RoHS and REACH compliance address regulatory requirements, and the gold-on-active plating improves mating reliability under repeated insertions. Its compact form factor supports dense panel layouts, while the robust stamped-and-formed design helps maintain performance in vibration-prone environments.
The SC20M1D70 features RoHS and REACH compliance, aligning with common global environmental and safety standards. While specific IP or industry certifications are not listed, the plating and material choices are intended to support long-term reliability in industrial automation settings.
By enabling a single part to cover 22–20 AWG wires, reducing SKU count, and supporting automated feeding with reeled packaging, this contact lowers labor and material waste. The durable gold-on-active plating also lowers maintenance needs by decreasing contact resistance drift over time.
