Eaton SMS4CH2Z17 Receptacle Connector - IP30 Push-Pull
Part Number: SMS4CH2Z17
Quick Summary
SMS4CH2Z17 is a quick mating plastic rectangular connector designed for robust PCB and panel integrations. Engineers often struggle with reliable mating in tight enclosures, which can delay assemblies and trigger field faults. This connector meets UL94 V0 flammability and RoHS/REACH compliance, with IP30 protection to guard sensitive electronics. It also features a front-mount panel receptacle and 4-position layout with PCB 90° contacts, delivering consistent performance in compact spaces. The combination of push-pull coupling and a practical 4-cavity design supports efficient, maintainable assemblies, while keeping costs predictable. Ideal for PCB headers and front-mounted panels, it accelerates deployment and improves uptime in automated systems.

FAQs
SMS4CH2Z17 uses PCB 90° contacts and a front-mount panel receptacle design, supporting a four-cavity layout. It integrates with common board mounting schemes and panel cutouts, enabling a straightforward installation in compact control panels without sacrificing signal integrity or mating reliability.
Key specs include IP30 protection, UL94 V0 flammability rating, and RoHS/REACH compliance. It operates from -55 °C to 125 °C, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments while maintaining safe, compliant operation in automated systems.
While IP30 indicates basic protection, the Push-Pull coupling provides secure mating during handling and operation, reducing the risk of disengagement in moderate vibration. For extreme vibration or harsh outdoor use, plan enclosure protection and routing to minimize movement and verify system-level resilience.
No backshell option is available for this model. If backshell protection is required, evaluate system-level enclosure designs or select an alternative connector from the SMS family that includes backshell accessories.
It excels in PCB-to-panel interconnects for machine controls and automation controllers where quick mating, compact form, and regulatory compliance (UL94 V0, RoHS, REACH) are essential. Its front-mount receptacle design and 4-position layout support efficient wiring and reliable field maintenance in automated equipment.
