FAQs
SC24WL3S25 is a socket (female) crimp contact designed for use with the SC/SM family, featuring a 20 AWG contact size and a wire range of 26–24 AWG. It’s packaged in bulk for efficient stocking and aligns with the stamping and forming process used by Eaton. For best results, pair with compatible crimp tooling and follow the manufacturer’s crimp height specifications to ensure consistent mating and long service life.
The contact supports a wire size range from 26 AWG to 24 AWG, with a 20 AWG contact size. This enables flexible harness design and broad compatibility across sensor, control, and signaling cables. When selecting cables, ensure the insulation diameter fits the crimp barrel, and use approved crimp tools to maintain electrical and mechanical integrity across production runs.
Yes, SC24WL3S25 uses gold plating for reliable mating and corrosion resistance, and is RoHS/REACH compliant to meet environmental and regulatory demands. Its compact form factor supports dense mounting in rugged automation equipment, while the stamped and formed manufacturing process provides repeatable crimps essential for consistent performance in high-vibration installations.
Use Eaton-recommended crimp tooling and verify the correct crimp height for the SC/SM stamped and formed contact. Ensure the wire insulation length is properly stripped and seated in the barrel to avoid exposed conductors. Inspect each crimp for uniformity and absence of gaps, and perform pull tests in qualification runs to validate continued reliability across batches.
The SC24WL3S25 delivers repeatable crimp performance, corrosion-resistant gold plating, and a compact footprint, enabling high-density harness installations. Bulk packaging reduces stocking costs and lead times, while RoHS/REACH compliance supports global sourcing. Together, these factors translate into lower maintenance, faster assembly, and improved uptime in automated production environments.
