Eaton SM20W3S26 Crimp Contact - Gold Flash Rear Part

Part Number: SM20W3S26
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
SM20W3S26

Quick Summary

Eaton SM20W3S26 is a gold-plated crimp contact for SC/SM connectors used in industrial automation. Field maintenance and vibration can challenge reliable terminations; precision stamped geometry and a gold finish minimize resistance drift and fretting. RoHS and REACH compliance support European and global regulatory programs, ensuring safer material content in assemblies. For designers and buyers, this translates to improved reliability, reduced rework, and easier sourcing across supplier networks. Leveraging reel-packaged contacts and compatible 20 AWG wiring, it supports efficient high-volume assembly and predictable maintenance cycles.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Gold plating with selective rear-part finish reduces contact resistance and enhances corrosion resistance, delivering longer service life in harsh environments. Business impact → Fewer unwarranted terminations, lower maintenance costs, and higher mean time between failures in automation lines. Application → Ideal for SC/SM series stamped and formed contacts in industrial harnesses and control panels. Feature → Precision stamped and formed geometry provides consistent tolerances and a reliable fit. Business impact → Reduces rework, scrap, and assembly time while enabling automated crimping with tight process windows. Application → Suits high-volume production and robotics cabinets relying on repeatable connections. Feature → Wire-size compatibility from 22 to 20 AWG with 20 AWG maximum. Business impact → Supports a broad range of wiring schemes, lowering supplier fragmentation and stock complexity. Application → Common in machine wiring and panel harnesses where 20 AWG is standard. Feature → Reeled packaging for streamlined assembly and faster line throughput. Business impact → Improves feed-to-crimp efficiency, reduces handling damage, and minimizes downtime. Application → Widely used in automated manufacturing lines. Feature → Compact form factor: 29 mm length, 2.6 mm width, 2.6 mm height. Business impact → Enables dense connector stacking and lower installation height. Application → Fits small connectors in tight panel spaces and multi-cable assemblies. Feature → RoHS and REACH compliance provides regulatory assurance. Business impact → Supports global procurement and sustainability goals with safer materials. Application → Critical for European and North American supplier ecosystems. Feature → Gold flash rear part plating enhances reliability where rear contact performance matters. Business impact → Improves long-term contact integrity and resistance to fretting. Application → Particularly valuable in vibration-prone equipment and recycled/reused harnesses. Feature → Reel packaging aligns with automated crimp systems and high-mix production schedules. Business impact → Reduces manual handling and accelerates changeovers. Application → Ideal for contract manufacturers and OEM integrators.
