Eaton SM20M1D70 Crimp Contact - RoHS/REACH Compliant

Manufacturing process and tolerances: The SM20M1D70 uses stamped and formed production, delivering tight tolerances and consistent geometry across reels. This minimizes crimp height variability and contact force fluctuations, which reduces rejection rates and post-assembly rework on high-volume lines. In industrial automation and control-panel builds, that reliability translates to faster assembly, fewer warranty issues, and lower total ownership costs. Wire compatibility and sizing: The contact accommodates 16 AWG active size with a wire range from 22 to 20 AWG, spanning common control cables and power feeds. Streamlining part selection reduces inventory and prevents mismatches between wire and contact, improving first-pass yield on automation equipment and panel assemblies. The 28 mm length and compact 3.5 x 2.7 mm footprint help fit crowded connectors without sacrificing performance. Plating and durability: Gold on the active part paired with nickel on the rear yields low contact resistance and strong wear resistance, even under vibration. This selective plating supports reliable mating and longer service life in harsh environments, preserving signal integrity for sensors, controllers, and I/O modules across factories and machines. Packaging and installation efficiency: Reeled packaging feeds directly into automated crimp systems, cutting handling time and changeovers on high-speed lines. The component's form factor aligns with Souriau SC/SM series geometries, enabling plug-and-play compatibility and consistent crimps across large production runs. Compliance and ecosystem: RoHS and REACH compliance ensure regulatory alignment for global deployments, while compatibility with Souriau SC/SM series reduces redesign risk. This streamlines time-to-market and supports scalable deployment across industrial automation, energy, and machinery sectors by providing a reliable, readily available contact solution.
