Stamped and formed
Wire size range (20 to 22 AWG) with a crimp termination enables a secure, repeatable connection for standard automation harnesses, cutting field rework and diagnostic downtime. This translates to faster assembly, lower waste, and higher first-pass yields on panel builds. The contact is compatible with Eaton Souriau SC/SM interconnects, making it a straightforward choice for new or legacy automation projects. Tin pre plated surface provides corrosion resistance and solderability, boosting performance in vibration-rich environments. Business impact: longer service life, reduced maintenance cycles. Application: robotics and material handling lines, where connectors endure temperature swings and contamination. Compact 29 mm length and 2.6 mm width/diameter, 0.4 g weight, enables dense harness routing and lightweight assemblies. Impact: smaller panel footprint and lower weight per connection translate to improved enclosure design and energy efficiency. Application: control panels and machine modules with tight space constraints. RoHS and REACH compliance ensures regulatory readiness across regions. Impact: easier multi-region sourcing and risk mitigation. Application: automation projects deployed globally. Bulk packaging reduces handling, improves kit accuracy, and lowers procurement overhead. Impact: faster line replenishment and lower total cost of ownership. Application: mass production lines. Stamped and formed manufacturing delivers consistent geometry for repeatable crimps and reliable contact performance. Impact: fewer field failures and warranty costs. Application: long-term reliability in industrial automation harnesses.

FAQs
Use the standard 20 AWG crimp tooling compatible with stamped and formed contacts. Ensure the conductor is stripped to the recommended length, insert into the contact cavity, and perform a full crimp with the correct die set. Verify crimp height and pull strength to meet harness specifications, then insert into the Souriau SC/SM housing and test continuity.
Yes. SM20WL3TK6 accepts wire sizes from 20 AWG maximum to 22 AWG minimum. This aligns with the 20 AWG crimp contact specification and ensures a reliable termination for typical automation harnesses, including Souriau SC/SM series interconnects. For smaller wires, consider adjusting crimp tooling or using a different contact size.
This contact is designed for inline harnesses and interconnects in industrial automation, robotics, and control panels that use Eaton Souriau SC/SM series. Its stamped and formed construction supports consistent crimps under vibration, and the 29 mm length allows dense routing in compact panel spaces.
RoHS and REACH compliance ensure the part meets environmental regulations in multiple regions, making it suitable for global deployments. The tin pre plating provides corrosion resistance for long-term reliability in vibration-heavy environments, while the stamped and formed process delivers consistent contact geometry for repeatable electrical performance across many assemblies.
Bulk packaging reduces handling steps and stocking costs in high-volume automation builds. It simplifies kit assembly and line-side stocking, while preserving traceability with the catalog number SM20WL3TK6. Engineers benefit from consistent quality and faster replenishment, which translates to shorter project lead times, fewer sourcing delays, and lower lifecycle costs across manufacturing lines.
