Eaton SC20M1S6 Crimp Contacts - RoHS Gold/Tin Plating

Part Number: SC20M1S6
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
SC20M1S6

Quick Summary

SC20M1S6 crimp contacts enable reliable socket female connections for compact power and signal harnesses. Engineers often struggle with inconsistent crimp quality and corrosion risk in tight assemblies, which can lead to field failures and rework. This solution adheres to REACH and RoHS environmental standards, helping you meet regulatory requirements and supplier expectations. Leveraging reel packaging and a stamped and formed manufacturing process, it supports automation, reduces handling time, and improves procurement efficiency. In contrast to plain wire-terminals, these contacts deliver consistent performance across 16 AWG active and 20 AWG maximum wire sizes, delivering cost savings through lower maintenance and higher first-pass yield. Suited for Souriau SC/SM connectors, they simplify integration in automated systems and assemblies.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SC20M1S6 are female stamped and formed crimp contacts designed for the Souriau SC/SM series. Benefit is predictable, repeatable crimp quality that minimizes rework and warranty claims in high-density harnesses, especially in automated assembly lines. Application includes industrial automation controllers and power distribution modules where reliability is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold on active contact surface with tin on the rear improves contact reliability and tarnish resistance, extending service life in challenging environments and reducing maintenance intervals. Application includes aerospace and industrial equipment where long-term corrosion resistance matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Reel packaging enables high-speed automated crimping and reduced manual handling, cutting cycle times and improving throughput. Application includes large-batch cable assemblies for robotics and machinery. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wire size flexibility from 22 AWG minimum to 20 AWG maximum and a 19 mm length with compact dimensions (3.1 × 3.3 mm) support tight connector footprints in compact enclosures. Application includes compact motor drives and servo controllers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 0.3 g weight per contact and stamped/formed manufacturing minimize part cost and improve supply chain predictability, enabling better BOM planning and supplier consolidation. Application includes system integrators seeking reliable, cost-efficient spares for SC/SM families. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Environmental compliance with REACH and RoHS reduces regulatory risk and simplifies QA processes across global deployments. Application includes regulated industries such as machinery and automation equipment where standards matter.
