SC14ML-1TK6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SC14ML-1TK6 is a socket contact connector manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton, part of the Trim Trio® SM/SC-M series. This stamped socket contact is designed for 14 AWG wire applications with tin-plated copper alloy construction and crimp termination. The component is actively produced and maintained in inventory, with 1167 pieces available in bulk packaging. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging availability, inventory levels, or specific application requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SC14ML-1TK6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 14 AWG (determines current-carrying capacity and crimp die requirements)
• Contact Type: Socket (functional role within connector assembly)
• Termination Method: Crimp (mechanical and electrical connection standard)
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper Alloy with Tin plating at 19.7µin (0.50µm) (electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance)
• Series Compatibility: Trim Trio® SM/SC-M (mechanical fit and assembly compatibility)
• Product Status: Active (ongoing manufacturing and support)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (environmental and safety standards)

The identified substitute part SC14M1TK6 maintains equivalence across all critical parameters. The primary difference is packaging format: SC14ML-1TK6 is supplied in bulk packaging, while SC14M1TK6 is supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SC14ML-1TK6 and SC14M1TK6 are active products manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and inventory requirements:

SC14ML-1TK6 is appropriate for applications requiring bulk packaging with lower volume requirements or where bulk format aligns with assembly processes.

SC14M1TK6 is appropriate for applications requiring cut tape packaging, automated pick-and-place assembly, or where higher inventory availability (6100 pieces) is advantageous for supply chain continuity.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent for 14 AWG crimp socket contact applications within the Trim Trio® SM/SC-M connector system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC14M1TK6 be used as a direct replacement for SC14ML-1TK6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The difference is packaging format only: SC14ML-1TK6 is bulk packaged, while SC14M1TK6 is cut tape packaged. Functional performance in the connector assembly is identical.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for 14 AWG socket contacts in the Trim Trio® SM/SC-M series?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in wire gauge (14 AWG), contact type (socket), termination method (crimp), contact material and finish (copper alloy with tin plating at 19.7µin), series designation (Trim Trio® SM/SC-M), and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Bulk and cut tape packaging formats do not affect the electrical or mechanical specifications of the contact itself. Packaging selection is based on assembly process requirements and inventory management.

Q: Are both parts actively manufactured?

A: Yes. Both SC14ML-1TK6 and SC14M1TK6 maintain active product status with Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton and are in current production.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification?

A: Both parts feature tin plating with a thickness of 19.7µin (0.50µm) on copper alloy base material.
