Eaton SM24W3TK6 Crimp Contacts - Tin Pre-Plated
Part Number: SM24W3TK6
Quick Summary
Eaton SM24W3TK6 crimp contacts are male stamped-and-formed connectors for Souriau SC/SM series used in sealed electrical harnesses. In high-volume assembly, inconsistent tin pre plating and reel feeding can slow production and raise scrap. This part is RoHS and REACH compliant, supporting safe integration into regulated electrical assemblies; it’s designed with precise geometry for reliable mating. With a compact 29 mm length and a 2.6 mm profile, it fits tight connector pockets while maintaining robust crimp performance. Engineers benefit from the tin pre plated finish and reel packaging, which streamline automated crimping and reduce handling steps in manufacturing lines.

FAQs
To install SM24W3TK6, select a compatible crimp tooling for 20 AWG conductors, trim conductors to the correct length, and perform a controlled crimp using the manufacturer's approved crimp profile. Feed the reeled contacts into the connector housing, inspect crimp height and resistance, and confirm seating with the mating connector. The stamping/formed geometry delivers consistent crimp force distribution for reliable mating on every cycle.
Key specs include a 20 AWG contact size, min 26 AWG to max 24 AWG wire range, 29 mm overall length, 2.6 mm height and width, 2.6 mm diameter, and 0.4 g weight. The contact is male pin, crimp type, tin pre plated, and packaged reel-based for automated handling. Environmental compliance includes REACH and RoHS.
These contacts are ideal for Souriau SC/SM series harness assemblies in industrial automation, control panels, and other equipment requiring compact, reliable tin-plated male crimps. They support 20 AWG conductors and are suitable for high-volume assembly lines where reel packaging improves feeding efficiency and crimp consistency, particularly in regulated environments demanding RoHS/REACH compliance.
Yes. The SM24W3TK6 contacts are specified as RoHS and REACH compliant, aligning with environmental and safety standards for electrical connectors. This makes them suitable for applications in regulated markets and helps streamline supplier qualification processes, reducing risk when integrating into certified assemblies and complex automation systems.
Using reel-packaged stamped contacts reduces handling steps, minimizes part misfeeds, and shortens setup times on automated crimping equipment. The consistent stamping and tin plating improve crimp reliability, lowering defect rates. Together these factors contribute to faster throughput, lower scrap, and improved total cost of ownership in high-volume harness production.
