Eaton SC20WL3S25 Crimp Contact - Gold Plated RoHS
Part Number: SC20WL3S25
Quick Summary
SC20WL3S25 crimp contact enables reliable female terminals in Souriau SC/SM assemblies for critical power and signal connections across harsh industrial environments, aerospace deployments, and energy infrastructure. Engineers often contend with inconsistent crimps, moisture exposure, vibration, and aging interfaces that drive maintenance costs, reduce uptime, and complicate field repairs. This contact is RoHS and REACH compliant, features selective gold plating on the contact surface for low contact resistance, and supports long-term corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Manufactured by stamping and forming for 20 AWG and 22 AWG wires, it is offered bulk for fast stocking, compatible with standard crimp tooling, and designed for scalable procurement.

FAQs
SC20WL3S25 is designed for use with Eaton Souriau SC/SM series female crimp receptacles. It is compatible with standard 20 AWG and 22 AWG harnesses and can be installed using conventional crimp tooling common in automotive, industrial, and aerospace assemblies. Ensure crimp tooling profiles match the contact dimensions to achieve consistent crimps and verify with post-crimp inspection.
Key factors include contact resistance, plating quality, and dimensional stability. The SC20WL3S25 features selective gold plating and a rear gold flash to minimize contact resistance and corrosion, while stamping/forming maintains consistent footprint and crimp geometry. Wire range of 20–22 AWG supports robust mechanical contact with vibration resistance across automotive and industrial applications.
Yes. The part is RoHS/REACH compliant and uses gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Its stamped-and-formed manufacturing approach provides consistent geometry essential for aerospace harnesses and industrial automation where reliability and repeatability are critical in high-volume installations.
RoHS and REACH compliance ensure regulatory alignment for global sourcing, reducing qualification time and risk in regulated industries. Gold plating improves long-term performance, and bulk packaging supports lean procurement and stocking. Buyers can expect consistent quality across batches and easier supplier qualification for international contracts.
The combination of RoHS/REACH compliance, gold-plated contacts, and stamped/formed manufacturing delivers reliable, low-maintenance performance with reduced field failures. Bulk packaging lowers stocking costs, and compatibility with standard tooling reduces install time, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and faster return on investment in production environments.
