Eaton SC20W3TK6 Socket Crimp Contact - RoHS REACH
Part Number: SC20W3TK6
Quick Summary
Eaton SC20W3TK6 is a socket crimp contact for the Souriau SC/SM series used with 20 AWG wiring. Engineers often struggle with inconsistent crimp quality and reliable mating in compact connector environments. RoHS and REACH compliance, along with tin pre plating, help ensure regulatory alignment and long-term corrosion resistance for critical applications. The reel packaging supports high-volume automation, while the 20 AWG contact size delivers proven performance in control panels and wiring harness assemblies. This combination delivers both quality and value for industrial automation projects and panel builders alike.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SC20W3TK6 uses tin pre plating to enhance solderability and corrosion resistance, reducing rework and field failures in harsh environments; this translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer outages in automation panels. Application-wise, it fits Souriau SC/SM series assemblies and supports 20 AWG wiring, enabling seamless integration into standard automation harnesses and control circuits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Manufactured through a stamped and formed process, the contact delivers consistent geometry and reliable mating force, improving connector retention and reducing assembly time during high-volume builds in manufacturing plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Packaging as a reeled contact supports automated insertion and continuous production lines, minimizing handling steps and boosting throughput for cable assemblies. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The socket (female) contact design aligns with common 20 AWG downstream components, improving compatibility across multi-vendor panels and reducing design risk. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The contact size 20 AWG, with a reversible range down to 22 AWG, provides flexibility for mixed wire harnesses, enabling designers to standardize parts across projects and simplify procurement. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS and REACH compliance ensure regulatory readiness for global deployments, easing certification processes for equipment intended for hazardous environments and consumer-grade automation systems.

FAQs
SC20W3TK6 is a socket (female) stamped and formed contact designed for the Souriau SC/SM series and supports 20 AWG wiring within a 22–20 AWG range. It ships reeled for automated feeding and mates reliably with standard SC/SM receptacles, provided you use the correct crimp tooling and crimp profile specified by Eaton.
The tin pre plated finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and solderability, while the stamped-and-formed process ensures consistent geometry for reliable crimp retention. In practical terms, you gain repeatable mating force, reduced inspection rework, and dependable electrical contact in control panels and automation harnesses.
Yes. The contact is intended for industrial automation harnesses using 20 AWG wiring within the Souriau SC/SM ecosystem. Its reeled packaging and compliant finish support high-volume assembly in panel dashboards, PLC racks, and machine wiring harnesses, with regulatory alignment via RoHS and REACH.
SC20W3TK6 is RoHS and REACH compliant, ensuring restricted substance limits and chemical safety for global deployments. This matters for system integrators needing regulatory traceability and for projects pursuing compliant electrical assemblies in industrial environments.
The combination of tin pre plating, reliable crimp geometry, and reeled packaging reduces field failures and downtime, lowering maintenance costs and rework. Standardized 20 AWG compatibility simplifies procurement and stocking, delivering predictable TCO across multi-year automation programs.
