Eaton SC20WL3TK6 Crimp Contact - Tin Plated, 20 AWG Socket
Part Number: SC20WL3TK6
Quick Summary
Eaton SC20WL3TK6 crimp contact is a female socket contact used in Souriau SC/SM connectors. Manufacturers struggle with inconsistent tin plating and bulk-pack handling that slows assembly lines. RoHS and REACH compliance help meet regulatory expectations, while bulk packaging and tin pre-plating simplify sourcing. This solution supports 20 AWG wiring and Souriau SC/SM harness assemblies, delivering business value. Engineers benefit from consistent contact size, easy tooling alignment, and reduced scrap in high-mix, low-volume runs. Purchasing teams appreciate the availability of bulk packaging that lowers unit costs and accelerates line changes. Overall, SC20WL3TK6 blends proven stamping and forming with reliable tin plating to support durable connections in automation panels and field deployments.

FAQs
SC20WL3TK6 is a female socket contact designed for stamped and formed bodies within the Souriau SC/SM family. It fits the SC20/SM style cavities and supports bulk ignition-free crimping with standard tooling, enabling consistent terminations across harnesses. This compatibility translates to reduced rework and faster assembly time in automation panels.
The contact supports 20 AWG wire with a recommended range down to 22 AWG for tight fits. Use the correct crimping die designed for stamped and formed SC/SM contacts and ensure proper insulation clearance. Following the specified tooling guarantees repeatable electrical performance and minimizes the risk of cold crimps or loose connections.
Yes, SC20WL3TK6 is RoHS and REACH compliant. This means the contact adheres to environmental and material safety standards required by many regulatory regimes, simplifying supplier qualification, audits, and compliance documentation for automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment projects.
Use the appropriate crimping tool set for stamped and formed SC/SM contacts and verify proper wire strip length and insertion depth. Bulk packaging supports rapid kit building, but ensure each contact seats fully in the connector cavity and that tin pre-plating remains uncontaminated to preserve corrosion resistance and electrical integrity.
Bulk packaging reduces SKU fragmentation, accelerates procurement, and lowers packaging waste. In high‑volume harness production, this translates to faster line changes, reduced handling time, and lower unit costs per contact, delivering measurable procurement and manufacturing efficiency gains over time.
