Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Tin pre plated female socket contacts minimize corrosion and ensure stable electrical performance through the life of the harness. The stamped and formed process yields consistent geometry, reducing contact resistance and insertion effort. In SC/SM style connectors, the SC24W3TK6 delivers repeatable crimp results across reels, improving first-pass yield in automated assembly lines. With contact size #20 and a wire range of 24 to 26 AWG, this contact supports compact, high-density wiring harnesses. The combination reduces connector footprint while maintaining current-carrying capability, translating to smaller panel designs and lower material costs. In practice, engineers see fewer mis-crimps and more reliable connector mating in tight spaces. Reeled packaging enables feeder systems to deliver parts directly to automated crimp machines, cutting handling time and scrap. The 20.5 mm length and narrow profile fit tight harness routes without compromising performance. This is especially valuable in automotive, robotics, and industrial controls where cycle times matter. The compact footprint, with 2.6 mm width and height, supports multiple contacts per connector shell and simplifies routing in crowded junctions. Weight of 0.3 g per contact helps minimize overall assembly mass in moving machinery. These attributes support scalable, cost-efficient assembly in high-volume production. Stamped and formed manufacturing delivers consistent crimp geometry and repeatable electrical performance, addressing objections about reliability in high-volume production. The format integrates smoothly with Souriau SC/SM shells and existing crimp tooling, enabling straightforward substitution, spare-part compatibility, and reduced downtime during changeovers. This translates to measurable improvements in first-pass yield and overall wiring harness consistency across batches. RoHS and REACH compliance further reinforce safe material usage and regulatory alignment across global markets.

FAQs
Yes. SC24W3TK6 is a female stamped and formed crimp contact designed for use with Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It integrates into standard SC/SM mating shells and is supplied reeled for automated feeding, supporting high-volume wiring harness production with consistent crimp geometry and mating reliability.
The contact size is 20 AWG, intended for a wire range of 24 to 26 AWG. This enables compact, high-density harnesses while maintaining reliable current carrying capacity. The 20 AWG contact size aligns with typical control panel and automation harness requirements, allowing precise crimping with standard tooling.
Yes. The SC24W3TK6 contact complies with RoHS and REACH environmental standards, ensuring safe material usage and regulatory alignment across European and global supply chains. This makes it suitable for automotive, industrial automation, and machinery applications where environmental compliance is mandatory.
Reeled packaging supports automated feeding and high-speed crimping, reducing manual handling and changeover time. It enables continuous production on automated lines, lowers scrap, and improves overall throughput. In practice, this translates to lower labor costs and faster time-to-value for large automation projects.
