Eaton SM20ML1TK6 Crimp Contacts - Tin Pre-Plated, RoHS
Part Number: SM20ML1TK6
Quick Summary
Eaton SM20ML1TK6 crimp contacts are designed for reliable, sealed harness connections in the SC/SM Souriau series used across industrial equipment. Engineers often struggle with intermittent connections caused by mismatched contacts or inadequate termination, leading to downtime and diagnostic delays. These contacts support REACH and RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for European operations, while the straightforward stamping and forming process reduces variation in crimp quality. By pairing tin pre-plated finishes with a compact 28 mm length, they deliver consistent performance in constrained spaces. This combination of robust mechanical fit and environmentally conscious materials makes the SM20ML1TK6 a practical choice for 16 AWG applications with flexible sourcing needs.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Stampings are precisely formed to tight tolerances, delivering repeatable crimp geometry that reduces rework and warranty costs in high-mix assembly lines. This translates to improved first-pass yield and lower total cost of ownership in automotive, machinery, and packaging equipment. Feature → The tin pre-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed harness environments, extending service life and minimizing maintenance intervals for fielded installations in rugged facilities. Business Impact → Fewer field failures and lower maintenance overhead enable operators to meet uptime targets and safety standards in continuous production lines. Application → Suitable for 16 AWG conductors with 22–20 AWG wire range, compatible with bulk packaging and standard crimp tooling to streamline procurement and installation across industrial connectors. Feature → 28 mm length, 2.7 mm height, 3.5 mm width, 2.7 mm diameter, and 0.4 g weight create a compact, lightweight contact that fits tight panel envelopes. Business Impact → Enables denser connector assemblies and lighter harnesses, improving cable routing and labor efficiency in automation cabinets. Application → Ideal for modular automation and control panel assemblies where space is at a premium and fast, repeatable crimping is required. Feature → Made for stamped and formed process, delivering robust mechanical integrity under vibration and thermal cycling. Business Impact → Supports reliable performance in machinery and process automation without requiring specialized tooling or rework. Application → Widely used in automated lines, robotics, and conveyors where consistent contact reliability is critical. Feature → Bulk packaging simplifies stocking, reduces handling steps, and speeds fulfillment for volume projects. Business Impact → Improves procurement efficiency and reduces downtime during assemblies in large-scale installations. Application → Well-suited for contract manufacturers and OEMs managing numerous SKUs in SC/SM series harnesses.

FAQs
SM20ML1TK6 is designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It is a male stamped and formed contact intended for bulk packaging and standard crimp tooling, compatible with 16 AWG conductors and a wire range of 22 to 20 AWG.
It accepts a wire range from 22 AWG minimum to 20 AWG maximum, with a contact size specified as 16 AWG for the stamped and formed contact geometry.
The contact measures 28 mm in length, 2.7 mm in height, 3.5 mm in width, and 2.7 mm in diameter, with an approximate weight of 0.4 g per unit.
Yes. The contact features tin pre plating and is specified as REACH and RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for European manufacturing and sustainability programs.
Source in bulk packaging for efficient stocking and use standard crimp tooling compatible with stamped and formed SC/SM contacts. Ensure crimp profiles match the 16 AWG/22–20 AWG wire range and verify mating with the corresponding Eaton Souriau connectors to maintain reliable electrical performance.
