Three-position layout and straight plug simplify multi-circuit wiring in tight spaces. This reduces panel width, improves cable routing, and speeds assembly on automated equipment. The design is ideal for control panels where space is at a premium and time-to-install is critical. The Push-Pull coupling enables quick mating and reliable retention, cutting field assembly time and minimizing maintenance downtime in line applications. Engineers benefit from easier serviceability and repeatable mating force, which improves overall quality in high-volume harness builds. Crimp contacts ensure robust termination with consistent electrical contact resistance, reducing the need for rework during harness fabrication. This translates to lower labor costs and higher yield in production environments. The SMS3PD3 family carries UL94 V0 flame rating, RoHS and REACH compliance, and IP40 protection, delivering regulatory peace of mind for machinery and panel builders. You gain safer devices with better insulation and reduced risk in environments with dust and incidental splashes. The plastic shell keeps weight low and installation straightforward, supporting lightweight assemblies and easier routing within cabinets or enclosures. With a 32.9 mm length, 18.6 mm width, and 8.4 mm height, the 3-contact configuration maintains a compact footprint while preserving signal integrity. No backshell option keeps the form factor minimal, pushing for compact, streamlined harness solutions in constrained spaces. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C, the connector withstands demanding industrial temperatures, ensuring performance across diverse manufacturing environments.

FAQs

To install SMS3PD3, ensure you have a compatible SMS series partner for mating. Crimp the 3 contacts using the recommended tooling, confirm proper insulation and orientation, and mate the straight plug with the corresponding receptacle. Note there is no backshell option, so plan harness routing accordingly and verify IP40 protection remains intact after installation.
Key specs include a 3-position, 3-cavity layout, straight plug, push-pull coupling, plastic shell, and crimp contact delivery. The connector supports an operating range of -40 °C to 105 °C, IP40 protection, and a UL94 V0 flame rating with RoHS and REACH compliance, suitable for general automation and control panels.
Yes. SMS3PD3 operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, features UL94 V0 flame retardancy, and IP40 protection, making it appropriate for many factory floors and automation environments where moderate dust and splash exposure are possible, while maintaining dependable electrical performance.
The connector is UL94 V0 flame rated and complies with RoHS and REACH requirements, aligning with common industrial and machinery standards. This helps simplify regulatory approvals for machines and panels that require flame resistance and restricted substance controls.
Using SMS3PD3 provides faster mating with its push-pull design, reducing assembly time and field labor costs. The three-crimp contacts simplify harness wiring, while the lightweight, compact footprint lowers cable mass and enclosure space needs, improving line efficiency and overall ROI in automation projects.
