Eaton SC24ML1S31 Crimp Contact - Gold/Nickel Plating
Part Number: SC24ML1S31
Quick Summary
SC24ML1S31 crimp contact by Eaton is a female stamped and formed connector element used in Souriau SC/SM harness assemblies. Engineers often wrestle with maintaining dependable conductivity in tight, high-density layouts, especially when bulk handling and variable wire sizes complicate assembly. This part is RoHS and REACH compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for modern electrical systems. Its compact 19 mm length and precise 3.3 mm diameter facilitate reliable, space-efficient connections, while gold-on-active plating and nickel on the rear portion deliver durable performance. By aligning with standard crimp tooling and bulk packaging, SC24ML1S31 reduces assembly time and overall cost in manufacturing environments.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SC24ML1S31 uses stamped and formed manufacturing to deliver consistent contact geometry, reducing rework and scrap while improving long-term reliability in SC/SM assemblies used in aerospace and industrial automation. This translates to lower maintenance costs and higher up-time for critical equipment. Application: harness assemblies in compact enclosures where space is at a premium, such as avionics racks and factory floor control panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold on active part plating delivers lower contact resistance and improved corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments and reducing failure rates. Application: high-vibration or outdoor installations where conductor integrity is paramount, including mobile machinery and energy equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Nickel on rear part provides a stable, durable contact interface that resists wear during mating cycles, increasing connector longevity. Application: repeated mating in SC/SM connectors across maintenance cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Bulk packaging with loose, bulk-delivered contacts simplifies supply chain management and speeds kitting processes. Application: procurement for large assemblies and integrator projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wire size range of 26–24 AWG covers common control and signal runs, enabling designer flexibility without stockouts. Application: automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation harnesses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with 16 AWG and 1.6 mm or 20 AWG and 1.0 mm stamped variants supports multi-size harnesses in the same connector family, reducing part counts. Application: modular SC/SM connector designs and quick-change harnesses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS and REACH compliance mitigates regulatory risk and simplifies customer approvals. Application: projects with strict environmental and material traceability requirements. Overall, the SC24ML1S31 contributes to improved assembly efficiency, predictable performance, and lower total cost of ownership in complex electrical systems.

FAQs
SC24ML1S31 is designed for the Souriau SC/SM family and accepts wire ranges from 26 to 24 AWG. Use standard crimp tooling compatible with stamped and formed contacts, ensuring proper crimp height and cable seating. Bulk packaging reduces handling steps, supporting faster kitting for assemblies in aerospace and industrial control panels.
Key specs include: product name Eaton SC24ML1S31, variant sizes for stamped contacts (#16 1.6 mm and #20 1.0 mm), length 19 mm, height 3.3 mm, width 3.1 mm, weight ~0.3 g, socket (female) contact, gold on active part with nickel rear plating, crimp type, bulk packaging, wire range 26–24 AWG, and stamped and formed manufacturing.
Yes. SC24ML1S31 is specified as RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with current environmental and regulatory requirements for electrical components used in regulated industries such as aerospace, industrial automation, and automotive harness systems.
SC24ML1S31 supports 26–24 AWG wire, combining flexibility for control signals with the robust contact geometry of stamped-and-formed contacts. This helps designers consolidate parts across multiple harnesses and reduces inventory complexity while ensuring reliable crimp connections in SC/SM assemblies.
Delivered bulk, loose contacts reduce kitting steps and enable faster line-side provisioning. The combination of compact dimensions (19 mm length, 3.3 mm diameter) and standard crimp tooling eases integration into high-density connector housings, supporting lower assembly time and consistent contact performance across large projects.
