Eaton SM24ML1S6 Crimp Contact - 1.6mm, Gold/Tin, RoHS/REACH
Part Number: SM24ML1S6
Quick Summary
SM24ML1S6 crimp contact reliably connects 24–26 AWG wires in industrial harnesses. Engineers often contend with loose terminations, vibration, and corrosion in dense control-panel assemblies. RoHS and REACH compliant, these contacts help you meet environmental requirements while bulk packaging supports scalable, high-volume production. As part of Eaton's Souriau SC/SM family, the 1.6 mm contact aligns with existing tooling and supplier ecosystems, delivering consistent crimps, faster assembly, and lower scrap on high-volume lines. The compact form factor minimizes panel congestion, while gold-on-active and tin-on-rear plating enhances signal integrity and longevity in harsh environments, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

FAQs
SM24ML1S6 is designed for use with Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors and supports 24–26 AWG wires. For best results, crimp with compatible tooling set to the #16 contact size, verify crimp height and strip length per the connector spec, and inspect each termination for uniform bite and no shoulder gaps. Bulk packaging supports high-volume assembly workflows.
Key specs include a size #16 (1.6 mm) stamped and formed crimp contact, male pin gender, gold plating on the active part and tin on the rear part, 28 mm length, 3.2 mm width, 2.5 mm height, 2.5 mm diameter, and a weight of 0.4 g. Wire size compatibility spans 24–26 AWG, with bulk packaging for efficient handling.
Yes. SM24ML1S6 complies with RoHS and REACH environmental standards, helping you meet regulatory requirements across global supply chains. This compliance supports safer design practices, easier risk management, and fewer compliance-related delays when sourcing parts for international projects.
In high-volume production, SM24ML1S6 offers consistent crimps due to stamped and formed fabrication, reduces scrap through precise geometry, and enables bulk sourcing with a compact 28 mm long contact that saves space. The Gold-on-active/Tin-on-rear plating enhances durability, supporting longer service life and lower maintenance costs in demanding environments.
Industrial automation, control panels, and automotive harness assemblies benefit from this contact due to its 1.6 mm sizing, 24–26 AWG compatibility, and reliable, corrosion-resistant plating. It is ideal for dense harness environments requiring robust, vibration-tolerant terminations and easy integration with existing Souriau SC/SM connectors.
