FAQs
SC24M1S18 is a female stamped and formed crimp contact designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It accepts 24–26 AWG conductors and corresponds to a 16 AWG active sizing with 1.6 mm or 1.0 mm stamped terminations. It ships reeled for automated crimping and requires an appropriate crimp tool to ensure consistent terminations.
The contact uses gold on the active portion and tin on the rear, delivering lower contact resistance, improved wear resistance, and better corrosion protection in demanding environments. Its compact 19 mm length and 3.3 mm diameter support dense harness layouts, while RoHS/REACH compliance helps ease regulatory approvals in global supply chains.
This contact excels in industrial automation, control panels, robotics, and equipment employing SC/SM connectors. Reel packaging simplifies high-volume wiring, and compatibility with 24–26 AWG wires supports typical sensor and actuator harnesses. The stamping and forming process provides reliable mating under vibration and electrical noise common in automation environments.
SC24M1S18 is RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with global restrictions on hazardous substances and environmental regulations. Gold-on-active and tin-on-rear plating improve durability and resistance to oxidation, while the stamped-and-formed manufacturing process ensures consistent quality for regulated industrial deployments.
Using a proven stamped-and-formed crimp contact reduces rework by delivering consistent crimps and reliable mating. The plating choices minimize corrosion and wear, extending service life in vibration-prone settings. Reel packaging supports automation, lowering labor costs and downtime in high-volume production lines, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for automation projects.
