Eaton SM20ML1S6 Crimp Contacts - Gold on active part
Part Number: SM20ML1S6
Quick Summary
Eaton SM20ML1S6 crimp contacts are male stamped and formed pins for Souriau SC/SM connectors. Designed to address reliability and wear in high-vibration assemblies, they deliver consistent mating durability. RoHS and REACH compliance support regulatory readiness, while gold-on-active-part plating enhances contact performance in corrosive environments. The compact 28 mm length and 2.7 mm profile fit tight connectors, reducing install time and space. Bulk packaging and a versatile 22–20 AWG wire range enable cost-efficient, scalable harness builds for automation, control cabinets, and power distribution applications, helping engineering teams minimize field failures and deliver on reliability commitments. Manufactured via stamped and formed processes aligns with high-volume assembly demands and repeatable performance.

FAQs
SM20ML1S6 is designed as a male stamped and formed crimp contact for the Souriau SC/SM series. It supports wires in the 22–20 AWG range and fits standard Souriau SC/SM housings used in automation controllers, motor drives, and control cabinets. Always verify connector cavity dimensions and crimp tool specifications to ensure proper mating and reliability.
The contact features gold on the active part and tin on the rear, providing corrosion resistance and reliable signal integrity through repeated connect/disconnect cycles. This plating, combined with the stamped and formed manufacturing process, supports long-term performance in industrial environments while maintaining low contact resistance.
Yes. The SM20ML1S6 contacts are RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with common regulatory requirements for electronic components used in automation and control equipment. This helps streamline compliance documentation and eases integration into regulated manufacturing environments.
SM20ML1S6 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume harness assembly. When ordering, reference the catalog/model number SM20ML1S6 and plan for bulk quantities to optimize cost per unit in large-scale automation projects and OEM builds.
Typical applications include panel-mounted control systems, automation networks, and power distribution assemblies where Souriau SC/SM connectors are used. The 22–20 AWG wire range, compact dimensions, and robust plating make these contacts suitable for high-reliability interconnections in industrial environments.
