FAQs
SMS4GE4 is a front-mount panel receptacle designed for compact installations. Its 13.4 mm depth, 21.3 mm height, and 5.9 mm width support dense layouts. Pre-loaded 4-pin contacts simplify alignment and reduce insertion force, while the push-pull coupling ensures secure mating even in vibration. Use with matching mating connectors to maintain IP30 protection and signal integrity in space-constrained control panels.
The SMS4GE4 provides four gold-plated PCB contacts in a single receptacle, with IP30 protection and a broad operating temperature range from -55 °C to 125 °C. It uses a 4-position layout, push-pull coupling, and a plastic shell. RoHS and REACH compliance, plus UL94 V0 flammability rating, support safe operation in standard industrial environments.
Yes. The SMS4GE4 is a front-m mount panel receptacle designed for PCB interconnects in control cabinets and automation equipment. Its compact dimensions, 4-contact configuration, and robust IP30 rating make it well-suited for dense panel layouts, while gold-plated contacts help maintain performance in long-cycle deployments.
SMS4GE4 carries RoHS and REACH compliance to minimize hazardous substances and ensure environmental responsibility. The UL94 V0 flammability rating indicates flame retardancy for plastic components, and IP30 protection provides basic dust resistance. These standards support safer compliance in regulated manufacturing environments and help meet supplier and customer requirements for industrial interconnects.
Pre-loaded contacts reduce assembly time and technician handling, accelerating deployment in new lines or upgrades. The gold plating enhances durability against corrosion, lowering replacement costs. Its compact form factor saves enclosure space, enabling denser layouts and fewer parts, while RoHS/REACH compliance reduces compliance risk and potential rework.
