Eaton SC20M1S18 Crimp Contacts for SC/SM Series - RoHS/REACH
Part Number: SC20M1S18
Quick Summary
Eaton SC20M1S18 is a female stamped and formed crimp contact for high-density automotive, industrial, and power-control connectors. Engineers often struggle with unreliable terminations when wire sizes vary, plating wears under service, or assembly tolerances differ. This family delivers RoHS and REACH compliance, plus a stamped-and-formed process that yields consistent contact geometry and repeatable crimp performance. Used with SC/SM housings, it supports compact harnesses, simplifies field servicing, and reduces refitting costs in critical automation and control panels. The reel packaging further enables automated feeding on production lines, improving throughput while preserving mating reliability across cycles.

Feature: The SC20M1S18 employs stamped and formed manufacturing to deliver tight tolerances and repeatable crimps. Business Impact: This reduces field rework, improves contact reliability in high-density bundles, and supports faster harness assembly. Application: Ideal for SC/SM series connector assemblies in industrial automation control panels. Feature: Gold on the active portion and tin on the rear portion of the contact plating. Business Impact: Enhances corrosion resistance and mating durability over repeated cycles, lowering intermittent connection risk. Application: Harsh manufacturing environments and outdoor equipment where dependable terminations are critical. Feature: Wire size range 22–20 AWG with a 16 AWG contact size; packaged on reels for automated feeding. Business Impact: Enables flexible harness designs and compatibility with standard crimp tools, reducing changeover time and labor costs. Application: Mid-current automotive and industrial control applications requiring reliable crimping. Feature: Reeled packaging supports continuous feeding in production lines. Business Impact: Improves line throughput, reduces manual handling, and minimizes scrap from misfeeds. Application: High-volume assembly environments using SC/SM connectors. Feature: RoHS and REACH compliant construction. Business Impact: Eases regulatory clearance and supply-chain risk for global manufacturing. Application: Automotive, machinery, and power equipment requiring environmental compliance.

FAQs
SC20M1S18 is a female socket contact designed for Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It accepts wires in the 22–20 AWG range and uses a stamped and formed crimp method. For installation, use a compatible crimp tool configured for 16 AWG contact size, ensure proper wire strip length, and verify crimp geometry for a secure, repeatable termination in high-density assemblies.
Key specs include a 19 mm length, 3.3 mm height, 3.1 mm width, and 0.3 g weight. It’s a crimp-type contact with gold plating on the active part and tin on the rear, RoHS and REACH compliant, wired for 22–20 AWG, and packaged on reels for automated processing.
Yes. The contact supports high-density SC/SM connector ecosystems, offers reliable corrosion resistance due to gold/tin plating, and is RoHS/REACH compliant, which aligns with automotive and industrial regulatory requirements. Its reel packaging and 19 mm length help optimize harness routing and assembly in compact control modules.
SC20M1S18 is RoHS and REACH compliant, ensuring restricted hazardous substances are controlled and environmental impact is minimized. This helps with regulatory approvals, end-product sustainability goals, and global supply chain compliance for manufacturers in multiple regions.
The stamped and formed geometry yields consistent crimps with reduced risk of poor reliability, lowering field rework and downtime. Reel packaging supports faster production line throughput, which translates to lower labor costs and faster time-to-market for high-density harness assemblies in automation or automotive applications.
