FAQs
SC20W3S25 is a socket (female) stamped and formed contact sized for Souriau SC/SM series outlets. It accepts wire sizes AWG 22 to AWG 20 and is supplied in reeled packaging to streamline automated crimping. For best results, use a compatible crimp tool and verify the gold plating integrity after installation to ensure mating reliability.
The contact is designed for 20 AWG wire with a size 20 contact face. It features selective gold plating on the rear portion to improve corrosion resistance and mating reliability. The compact dimensions (20.5 mm length, 2.6 mm width and height) support dense connector packs typical in automation and control panels.
Yes. The contact is RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory requirements common in industrial automation. While not specified for SIL, CE, or IP ratings in the data, RoHS/REACH compliance supports permitted use in many controlled environments and rigorous audits.
Reeled packaging enables seamless integration with high-speed crimping equipment and automated assembly lines. It reduces handling time, minimizes part loss, and improves traceability during production. This is particularly beneficial for large-scale harness builds and OEM wiring programs in factories.
Use the recommended crimp profile for 20 AWG wire and inspect the gold plating on the rear portion after crimping. Ensure proper seating within the connector housing to prevent partial engagement. Regularly verify contact resistance and perform periodic maintenance checks to sustain reliability in demanding automation environments.
