FAQs
SC24ML1S6 is a female stamped and formed crimp contact designed for the Eaton Souriau SC/SM series, compatible with 1.6 mm and 1.0 mm wire sizes. It is used in connector assemblies for industrial automation, machinery, and control panels where reliable mating and durable plating are critical.
Install SC24ML1S6 using the correct crimp tooling for 24–26 AWG wire. Strip to the recommended length, insert the conductor fully into the contact until seated, and crimp with a calibrated tool to achieve the stamped geometry. Verify contact resistance and ensure the contact is seated securely in the connector housing to prevent loosening under vibration.
Yes, SC24ML1S6 supports 24–26 AWG wire. It measures approximately 19 mm in length, 3.3 mm in height, and 3.1 mm in width, with a weight around 0.3 g. The contact size corresponds to 16 AWG, and it is a socket (female) contact designed for bulk packaging.
SC24ML1S6 is RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with today’s environmental and regulatory standards for electrical components used in industrial equipment and automotive applications.
Using SC24ML1S6 reduces crimp-related failures and rework, lowering field failures and maintenance costs. Bulk packaging improves sourcing efficiency, while corrosion-resistant gold-on-active/tin-on-rear plating enhances long-term reliability in harsh environments, delivering measurable uptime improvements in high-volume harness assemblies.
