Eaton SM24WL3S26 Crimp Contact - Gold Plating
Part Number: SM24WL3S26
Quick Summary
SM24WL3S26 is a male stamped crimp contact for SC/SM series connectors. In automation assemblies, unreliable mating and inconsistent plating can trigger unexpected downtime. This solution offers RoHS and REACH compliance, helping meet regulatory obligations in electronics manufacturing. The design supports wire sizes AWG 24–26 and is delivered in bulk, which reduces handling time and inventory complexity. Engineered for Souriau SC/SM housings, it delivers reliable mating and repeatable crimp performance, enabling faster assembly and longer service life. For procurement teams and design engineers, this combination lowers total cost of ownership while maintaining electrical performance and durability.

FAQs
The SM24WL3S26 is a male stamped crimp contact designed for Eaton Souriau SC/SM series connectors. It accepts wires in the 24–26 AWG range and uses a crimp termination. For best results, use a compatible crimp tool and verify a secure crimp before mating in the SC/SM housing. Bulk packaging supports efficient kitting and assembly.
Key specs include size #20 contact, wire range AWG 24–26, standard length of 29 mm, and a contact weight around 0.4 g. The contact is stamped and formed with selective gold plating and rear gold flash. Environmental compliance is RoHS and REACH. Validate crimp quality with standard inspection methods and confirm mating with the Souriau SC/SM pair.
Yes, the contact is RoHS and REACH compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for electronics manufacturing and industrial equipment. While the data does not specify an IP rating, the gold plating and robust stamped-and-formed construction are designed to provide reliable contact performance in typical industrial automation environments when used within appropriate Souriau SC/SM housings.
Bulk packaging reduces sourcing and kitting time, while the stamped-and-formed process delivers consistent crimp results, lowering rework rates. Reliable mating minimizes intermittent electrical faults, reducing diagnostic and maintenance overhead. Overall, deployment of SM24WL3S26 can shorten assembly cycles and improve line uptime in automation and power distribution equipment.
