SC24M-1S6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SC24M-1S6 is a socket contact connector from the Trim Trio® SM/SC-M series manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton. This stamped socket contact is designed for 24-26 AWG wire applications with gold crimp termination. The part is currently in active production status with 1131 pieces available in new original inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same product category. Alternative part numbers may be required due to packaging availability, inventory levels, or specific application requirements while maintaining identical functional specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SC24M-1S6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Part must belong to Trim Trio® SM/SC-M series
• Contact Type: Socket contact, stamped construction
• Wire Gauge: 24-26 AWG specification
• Termination Method: Crimp termination required
• Contact Finish: Gold plating at 29.5µin (0.75µm) thickness
• Contact Material: Copper alloy composition
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected status

The SC24ML-1S6 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is packaging configuration: SC24M-1S6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while SC24ML-1S6 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SC24M-1S6 and SC24ML-1S6 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

SC24M-1S6 is appropriate for applications requiring Tape & Reel packaging format, which is standard for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.

SC24ML-1S6 is appropriate for applications where bulk packaging is acceptable or preferred, offering higher available inventory (3815 pieces versus 1131 pieces) and may provide cost advantages for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and regulatory compliance. The choice between them does not affect functional performance or system reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC24ML-1S6 be used as a direct replacement for SC24M-1S6?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent socket contacts with identical wire gauge (24-26 AWG), contact finish (gold at 29.5µin), termination method (crimp), and material composition (copper alloy). The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or applications where automated feeding is not required. The contact specifications and performance are identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both SC24M-1S6 and SC24ML-1S6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: Does wire gauge compatibility extend beyond 24-26 AWG?

A: No. These socket contacts are specified exclusively for 24-26 AWG wire. Use only with wire gauges within this range to maintain proper crimp termination and electrical contact integrity.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification?

A: Both parts feature gold plating at 29.5µin (0.75µm) thickness. This specification ensures consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance across the product line.
