Eaton SM24ML1D70 Crimp Contact - Gold on active
Part Number: SM24ML1D70
Quick Summary
Eaton SM24ML1D70 crimp contacts are designed to deliver reliable, high‑integrity connections for Souriau SC/SM series harnesses in industrial equipment. They address common assembly challenges such as inconsistent crimps and misalignment by offering stamped and formed geometry tuned for 24–26 AWG wires. These parts meet RoHS and REACH environmental standards, supporting regulatory compliance across global manufacturing sites. With gold‑on‑active plating and compact dimensions, they enable faster, more consistent installations and long‑term electrical durability. In practice, this translates to lower maintenance costs, reduced warranty exposure, and improved supplier continuity for high‑volume connectors used in machinery and control panels.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SM24ML1D70 employs stamped and formed manufacturing to ensure consistent crimp profiles, reducing field failures and rework while shortening assembly times on production lines. This reliability directly lowers downtime and warranty claims in automotive and industrial equipment assemblies, where dense harness packs demand precise pin alignment. Application: bulk packaging supports fast replenishment for high‑volume builds, simplifying procurement logistics and minimizing line stoppages. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold-on-active plating enhances conductivity and resistance to corrosion in demanding environments, extending service life and lowering replacement cycles in harsh industrial settings. Application: control panels and machinery harnesses with frequent disconnections benefit from preserved contact integrity over time. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Narrow profile (28 mm length, 3.2 mm width, 2.5 mm height) enables dense connector tacking and easier routing within tight enclosures, improving space utilization and reducing wiring complexity. Application: compact electrical cabinets and instrument panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wire range compatibility (26–24 AWG) supports versatile use across common sensor and actuator loads, enabling a single part family to cover multiple circuit needs and reducing part variety in stocking. Application: mixed‑signal harnesses and industrial automation networks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold-on-active with nickel rear plating provides robust contact performance under vibration and thermal cycling, improving signal integrity and reducing maintenance frequency in conveyor systems and packaging lines.

FAQs
SM24ML1D70 are male stamped and formed crimp contacts designed for Souriau SC/SM series, supporting size #16 and #20 formats with 1.6 mm and 1.0 mm contact options. They come in bulk packaging for efficient stocking and pair with corresponding female contacts in the same series to ensure a secure, matched mating interface in high‑density assemblies.
Install SM24ML1D70 using a compatible crimp tool designed for stamped and formed 16 AWG contacts. Prepare 24–26 AWG conductors, insert into the crimp barrel, and apply a crimping force per tool specification to achieve a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Bulk packaging supports streamlined kit builds for control panels and machine harnesses.
Yes. The SM24ML1D70 contacts are specified as RoHS and REACH compliant, making them appropriate for use in responsible, regulator‑conscious manufacturing environments. While these are component parts, proper use within RoHS/REACH compliant assemblies helps ensure overall conformance for end products such as automation controllers, drives, and machinery.
Key specs include a 28 mm product length, 2.5 mm height, 3.2 mm width, and 2.5 mm diameter footprint. The contact is male (pin), with gold on the active part and nickel on the rear, designed for 16 AWG and 24–26 AWG wire ranges. Packaging is bulk, and the manufacturing process is stamped and formed for consistent performance.
Using SM24ML1D70 contacts can lower maintenance costs by improving reliability and reducing rework from improper crimps. The gold‑on‑active plating improves long‑term contact resistance, while RoHS/REACH compliance simplifies regulatory oversight. Dense harness compatibility and bulk packaging reduce inventory complexity and procurement lead times, contributing to faster assembly and lower total cost of ownership.
