Eaton SM24ML1TK6 Crimp Contact - Tin Plated RoHS
Part Number: SM24ML1TK6
Quick Summary
Eaton SM24ML1TK6 crimp contact enables reliable stamped and formed connections in Souriau SC/SM series. Engineers often confront vibration-induced wear and inconsistent crimps when handling bulk contacts, which can lead to intermittent connectivity and downtime. It carries RoHS and REACH compliance, ensuring safe, regulatory-friendly assemblies. The tin pre plated finish and compact dimensions support efficient integration with 24–26 AWG wires, while its small footprint helps maximize connector density in tight panels. Designed for high-volume automation builds, it offers predictable performance, reduced rework, and lower total cost per connection through streamlined tooling compatibility and bulk packaging.

Manufacturing process
Stamped and formed
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Stamped and formed manufacturing ensures precise contact geometry, improving mating reliability and reducing contact resistance variations across high-cycle deployments in Souriau SC/SM connectors. This translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer field failures in industrial controls and motion systems. Application: Automakers and factory floor equipment employing SC/SM assemblies benefit from consistent performance under vibration and thermal stress. Feature → Tin pre plated finish provides corrosion resistance and enhanced solderability, which reduces preventative maintenance and extends service life in harsh environments. Application: Heavy machinery and automated lines where exposure to moisture and contaminants is common. Feature → Wire size compatibility of 24–26 AWG enables flexible harness designs and easier stocking of common control wiring. Application: Panel builders and machine integrators can standardize parts and simplify procurement. Feature → Bulk packaging supports high-volume assembly, reducing handling time and labor costs in production runs. Application: Large automation projects and prime contractors can accelerate time-to-line and minimize unplanned downtimes. Feature → Compact dimensions (28 mm length, 2.5 mm height, 3.2 mm width) enable dense connector arrays and compatible housings. Application: Space-constrained control panels and compact robotics where footprint matters. Feature → RoHS and REACH compliance provides regulatory assurance and safer scrapping. Application: Medical, automotive-adjacent, and industrial environments with strict material restrictions.

FAQs
SM24ML1TK6 is designed for use with Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It is a male stamped and formed contact sized for 16 AWG applications in these housings, compatible with wires ranging from 26 to 24 AWG. Use with standard crimp tooling and inspect crimp quality to ensure proper engagement and repeatable performance across multiple mating cycles in automation equipment.
Key specs include a 28 mm product length, 2.5 mm height, 3.2 mm width, 2.5 mm diameter, and a weight of 0.4 g. Contact size is 16 AWG with tin pre plating, packaging in bulk, and wire size compatibility of 26–24 AWG. The manufacturing process is stamped and formed, delivering consistent crimp geometry for reliable electrical contact.
Yes. The contact features tin pre plating that improves corrosion resistance and supports RoHS and REACH compliance. Its stamped and formed construction is designed for repeated mating cycles typical of industrial automation, while the small form factor supports dense installations in control panels and machinery exposed to vibration and temperature variations.
SM24ML1TK6 complies with RoHS and REACH environmental regulations, minimizing exposure to restricted substances. It is packaged in bulk to support high-volume assembly, reducing handling time and part counts on large automation projects. This packaging approach helps maintain workflow efficiency on production lines and during panel assembly.
Use the appropriate crimp tool for stamped and formed contacts to ensure proper crimp height and integrity. Verify crimps visually and with pull tests where feasible, and maintain consistent wire termination within 26–24 AWG. Leveraging bulk packaging, standard housings, and the 28 mm length in compact layouts can shorten assembly time and lower lifecycle costs in automation systems.
