SMS4PHGE4 features a four-position front-mount panel receptacle with four gold-plated PCB contacts. This configuration delivers stable signal integrity and low contact resistance in demanding industrial environments. In practice, it supports compact 4-wire routing for sensor networks, motor drives, and I/O modules, helping engineers maximize panel density without compromising performance. Push-Pull coupling provides fast, repeatable mating with positive retention, reducing assembly time on crowded shop floors. The mating action is smooth yet secure, minimizing misfeeds and the need for rework during panel wiring. This translates to shorter commissioning cycles and higher first-pass yield in control cabinets. Environmental and material specs include IP30 protection, UL94 V0 flammability, and RoHS/REACH compliance. The plastic shell keeps weight light while resisting impact and wear in busy production lines. Rated operating temperature ranges from -55 °C to 125 °C, enabling use in cold rooms and high-temperature enclosures. Compact dimensions (36.6 mm length, 22.9 mm width, 9.4 mm height) and a 4-contact layout support dense device arrays and streamlined cable management. Front-mount mounting eases installation in electrical cabinets and machine frames. Ample compatibility with straight pin headers and board-mounted male contacts ensures straightforward integration with existing PCB designs. The gold-plated PCB contacts resist corrosion and provide longevity in challenging environments. The 4-cavity design simplifies harness planning, enabling standardized parts across different panels and machines. This simplifies inventory management and accelerates retrofit projects in mature facilities.

FAQs
Installation begins with preparing the panel cutout to accept the 36.6 mm by 22.9 mm footprint. Align the four PCB contacts with the mating header on the board, then insert and push to engage the push-pull coupling. Verify polarity and seating to ensure IP30 protection. Since there is no backshell option, maintain suitable cable routing to protect the mating interface.
SMS4PHGE4 combines a four-position front-mount receptacle with gold-plated PCB contacts and a Push-Pull coupling for fast mating. The design supports reliable signal transmission in dense panels, provides robust retention, and delivers a compact footprint for space-constrained control cabinets, all while meeting RoHS and REACH requirements and withstanding a wide temperature range.
Yes. SMS4PHGE4 complies with RoHS and REACH environmental standards and carries UL94 V0 flammability approval. It offers IP30 protection, making it well-suited for indoor electrical cabinets and panel assemblies where dust protection is standard and exposure to the harsh outdoor environment is limited.
Absolutely. The connector supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to 125 °C, enabling use in cold rooms, hot enclosures, and typical industrial environments. Its plastic shell is designed for resilience in busy manufacturing lines while maintaining consistent mating performance and signal integrity.
The Push-Pull mating, 4-contact configuration, and gold-plated PCB contacts reduce rework and improve first-pass assembly yield, cutting commissioning time. Space efficiency lowers panel-throughput restrictions, while RoHS/REACH compliance simplifies supplier qualification and maintenance planning, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over equipment life cycles.
