Eaton SC24W3S25 Crimp Contacts - Gold Plated, RoHS
Part Number: SC24W3S25
Quick Summary
SC24W3S25 crimp contacts from Eaton Souriau are female stamped and formed contacts designed for SC/SM series connectors used in industrial automation. Manufacturers often face inconsistent contact plating, tool compatibility, and reel-fed parts that slow high-volume assembly. This product line complies with RoHS and REACH, featuring selective gold plating on the rear to boost corrosion resistance and service life. Compact 20 AWG contacts with reel packaging support fast, tool-friendly installation across conveyors, robotics, and metalworking equipment, delivering reliable performance and reduced waste. The 20.5 mm length and 2.6 mm width enable tight layouts and easy integration into compact interconnect housings for engineers and procurement teams alike.

FAQs
SC24W3S25 is designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors and is suited for standard crimp tooling that supports 20 AWG contact sizes. It is shipped reeled for automated feeding, reducing handling time. Ensure your crimp tool is calibrated for stamped and formed contacts to maintain consistent compression and electrical performance.
This contact supports 26–24 AWG wires with a 20 AWG contact size. This broad range allows flexibility for small signal and control wiring within harnesses. When selecting wires, verify the connector housing specifications to ensure proper alignment and crimp depth for reliable connectivity and minimal resistance.
Yes. SC24W3S25 features RoHS and REACH compliance, aligning with global environmental and regulatory requirements. The gold plating further enhances corrosion resistance, which is critical in harsh industrial settings. Always confirm supplier documentation for up-to-date compliance status in your region.
The contact measures 20.5 mm in length with a cross-section of 2.6 x 2.6 mm and weighs about 0.3 g. This compact footprint supports high-density interconnections in control cabinets and compact assemblies, while reel packaging enables efficient automated handling and steady supply to assembly lines.
Using reeled, gold-plated stamped and formed contacts reduces handling, scrap, and cycle times in high-volume production. Improved signal integrity and corrosion resistance lower maintenance needs and downtime. The reliability of SC/SM series interconnects translates to longer service life for automation systems and a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
