Eaton SM24ML1S18 Crimp Contact - RoHS/REACH Compliant
Part Number: SM24ML1S18
Quick Summary
Eaton SM24ML1S18 is a male stamped and formed crimp contact used in high-density power and signal assemblies. Designers face reliability challenges when crimps loosen or fail under vibration inside compact enclosures. RoHS and REACH compliance help reduce hazardous substances and simplify supplier audits, while gold-on-active and tin-on-rear plating support durable electrical contact performance. The SM series is engineered for Souriau SC/SM housings, and its 24–26 AWG wire range aligns with common automation cables. By choosing this contact, your assemblies gain consistent crimp geometry, improved mating reliability, and lower maintenance costs over the equipment life cycle. This translates to faster service, fewer field failures, and better uptime.

FAQs
The SM24ML1S18 is designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It supports 24–26 AWG wire within a bulk-packaged crimp solution and relies on compatible crimp tooling to achieve the intended crimp height and contact tolerances. This compatibility ensures straightforward integration into existing Souriau-based harnesses without custom components.
The contact accepts 24–26 AWG wires, aligning with common automation cables and sensor leads. It features gold plating on the active portion and tin plating on the rear portion to balance low contact resistance with corrosion protection. The part is RoHS and REACH compliant, supporting regulatory requirements in many industrial markets.
Ideal for high-density power and signal harnesses in automation panels, machinery wiring, and control cabinets. Its compact 28 mm length and 2.5 mm height enable dense connector layouts, while the 24–26 AWG range covers most sensing, control, and power lead configurations commonly found in automated equipment.
This contact is RoHS and REACH compliant, ensuring restricted substance controls and safer materials for manufacturing and service in automation environments. While not providing immunity to all regional standards, these certifications support supplier qualification, auditing, and regulatory alignment for many OEMs and integrators.
Reliable stamping and crimp formation reduce field failures and rework, improving uptime and service intervals. Gold-on-active/Tin-on-rear plating minimizes resistance and corrosion over time, lowering maintenance costs. Bulk packaging also reduces handling and procurement overhead, contributing to faster project timelines and a lower total cost of ownership.
