Eaton SMS3PHGE4 SMS Series Quick Mating Connector - IP30
Part Number: SMS3PHGE4
Quick Summary
Eaton SMS3PHGE4 is a quick mating plastic rectangular connector designed for reliable PCB-to-panel connections in compact automation cabinets. Engineers often struggle with slow mating and misalignment in tight spaces, which this design helps prevent with a push-pull coupling. The solution carries essential certifications—UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance—and an IP30 rating for protected interior use. Its front-mount panel receptacle topology with three gold-plated PCB contacts simplifies harness routing while preserving compatibility with standard headers. With its compact footprint and proven performance, it reduces assembly time and maintenance costs for high-uptime control systems.

Three-position design with gold-plated PCB contacts delivers robust signal integrity and corrosion resistance, supporting reliable operation in demanding environments. This feature translates to longer service life and fewer field failures in machine controls and automation panels. Push-Pull coupling enables fast, tool-free mating and unmating, reducing commissioning times and worker exposure to high-density wiring. In practice, technicians can cycle connections during debugging without risking mis-alignment or wear on contact surfaces. Front-mount panel receptacle simplifies enclosure wiring and keeps harnesses tidy, while preserving a compact footprint that fits tight panel recesses. The 31.2 mm length, 22.9 mm width, and 9.4 mm height support a three-position configuration without compromising enclosure space. IP30 protection and UL94 V0 flammability ensure safe operation inside equipment housings, with RoHS and REACH compliance reinforcing supplier and user risk management. Loaded contact delivery reduces assembly steps and minimizes mis-wiring during harness installation. The plastic shell keeps weight around 4 g, aiding heat management and overall panel density in automation assemblies. These characteristics collectively enable faster redesigns, easier maintenance, and improved lifecycle cost for industrial control systems.

FAQs
Install the front-mount panel receptacle into the panel cutout, align with the mating PCB header, and secure according to enclosure specifications. The push-pull design enables quick mating and unmating, while the three gold-plated PCB contacts ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Verify IP30 protection after installation and ensure RoHS/REACH compliance for the application’s environmental requirements.
SMS3PHGE4 is a 3-position receptacle with three cavities (#16), featuring a 31.2 mm length, 9.4 mm height, and 22.9 mm width. It weighs about 4 g, uses gold-plated PCB contacts, and offers IP30 protection. It is a front-mount panel receptacle with loaded contact delivery and a plastic shell.
Yes, SMS3PHGE4 is designed as a PCB contact, male-pin interface intended for boardmount headers in a three-position configuration. Compatibility depends on matching pitch and header style, so consult the datasheet and the BSA20017300202.pdf drawing to ensure proper mating with your specific header family.
SMS3PHGE4 carries UL94 V0 flammability certification and RoHS/REACH compliance, with an IP30 rating for protected interior use. These certifications help meet safety and environmental compliance requirements in machinery, control panels, and automation equipment, reducing risk and easing regulatory approvals.
Expect faster assembly and maintenance due to the quick mating Push-Pull coupling, reduced risk of mis-wiring from loaded contacts, and improved reliability from gold-plated PCB contacts. The compact front-mount design saves enclosure space and weight, contributing to lower total installed cost and faster field service in industrial automation projects.
