Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Stamped and formed manufacturing delivers consistent geometry and contact force, reducing mating variance and wear, which translates to fewer retries in automated crimp systems and higher line throughput. The 20 AWG contact size, with a wire range from 26 to 24 AWG, enables a single SKU to support multiple harness configurations, decreasing stocking complexity and enabling faster engineering changes in machine upgrades. Tin pre-plated plating enhances solderability and provides corrosion resistance in humid or dirty industrial environments, delivering longer service life and lower maintenance costs. Packaging as Bulk reduces handling time and inventory overhead, supporting lean manufacturing practices and easier field replacements for service teams. Compliance with REACH and RoHS mitigates regulatory risk and simplifies customer audits, particularly for machines deployed in multi-region facilities. The compact dimensions (20.5 mm length, 2.6 mm width and diameter) fit into tight connector cavities, improving insertion reliability and reducing assembly stress. This combination of form factor, material quality, and process stability supports consistent electrical performance across temperature cycles and vibrations typical in automation plants.

FAQs
SC24WL3TK6 is a socket female crimp contact designed for wire size 20 AWG with a compatible range of 26 AWG minimum to 24 AWG maximum. This broad range supports common automation harnesses, enabling a single part to serve multiple panel or machine applications while maintaining reliable electrical performance and consistent crimp quality when using proper tooling.
Yes. SC24WL3TK6 is specifically designed as a stamped and formed contact for the SC/SM series, ensuring proper mating geometry and compatibility with the connector housing. Its bulk packaging supports efficient inventory management and quick replacements in high-volume automation environments.
SC24WL3TK6 carries REACH and RoHS compliance, addressing environmental and regulatory requirements for global deployments. This helps reduce compliance risk during audits and supports sustainable procurement programs across automotive, industrial, and machinery applications.
Stamped and formed contacts preserve precise geometry and consistent contact force, which enhances mating reliability and reduces wear over life. In vibration-intensive automation environments, this manufacturing method helps maintain signal integrity, lowers the likelihood of intermittent connections, and simplifies automated crimping without sacrificing performance.
Bulk packaging minimizes handling steps and reduces per-unit packaging waste, lowering labor time for field replacements and streamlining reels or trays in assembly lines. For maintenance teams, bulk-supplied contacts translate to faster replenishment, less downtime, and improved overall equipment uptime in factory settings.
