Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The stamped and formed manufacturing process delivers consistent geometry, reducing contact resistance and wear in high-cycle environments, which translates to longer connector life in machinery and automation panels. This supports reliable performance in control systems and minimizes maintenance downtime. Application: industrial automation, machine wiring, and equipment harnesses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold on active and tin on rear plating improves corrosion resistance at the contact interface and reduces contact wear, delivering stable signal integrity and lower maintenance costs. Application: harsh manufacturing floors and outdoor enclosures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Bulk packaging and loose-lead delivery streamline procurement and warehousing, cutting stocking costs and simplifying stocking strategies for large-scale projects. Application: panel assemblies and multi-harness installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wire range compatibility (22–20 AWG) enables use across varying harness configurations, reducing part proliferation and simplifying design wins. Application: automotive, industrial controls, and robotics. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact 19 mm length and small footprint support tight connector cavities, improving fit in dense control panels and space-constrained equipment. Application: compact automated systems and machine controls. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS REACH compliance mitigates regulatory risk and supports global sourcing, helping procurement teams meet cross-border standards.

FAQs
SC20ML1S18 is designed as a female stamped and formed crimp contact for the SC/SM series connectors. It supports a wire range of 22 AWG to 20 AWG, allowing use across common control harnesses. Ensure you use the correct crimp tooling and mating connector housing to maintain spec-compliant termination and reliable connections in panels and machines.
The contact features gold plating on the active contact face and tin plating on the rear portion, delivering low contact resistance, good wear resistance, and enhanced corrosion protection. Coupled with RoHS/REACH compliance, this configuration supports long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments and reduces maintenance intervals.
Ideal for industrial automation, control cabinets, and machinery wiring harnesses that require compact, reliable crimp contacts. Its small footprint fits tight connector cavities, while its wire compatibility and bulk packaging suit mass production lines, OEM assemblies, and serviceable spare part inventories across manufacturing, packaging, and processing industries.
SC20ML1S18 is RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with global environmental and safety requirements. This helps simplify regulatory clearance for multinational deployments and supports audit readiness for supplier compliance programs in diverse markets.
The combination of stable plating, precise stamping, and bulk packaging reduces replacement costs and downtime due to failed terminations. By enabling consistent crimp performance across large harnesses, procurement and stocking become more predictable, ultimately improving total cost of ownership in high-volume automation projects.
