Compact footprint minimizes panel space consumption and enables dense PCB layouts, driving higher equipment integration and reduced enclosure size. This translates to lower overall system materials cost and easier field upgrades in automation cabinets and control panels. The SMS4SE4T delivers four PCB-style contacts in a single receptacle, making wiring schemes simpler and less error-prone, which reduces commissioning time and test cycles on new lines. Four loaded contacts streamline assembly because pre-loaded pins remove multiple hand-assembly steps, improving yield during high-mix manufacturing. Push-pull coupling provides fast, secure mating with vibration resistance, boosting uptime in machinery subject to dynamic loads. The front-mount panel receptacle style simplifies installation in tight spaces and eliminates the need for extra backshell hardware, cutting procurement complexity. Tin-plated copper contacts offer reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance over long service lives, supporting predictable performance in harsh plant environments. With IP30 protection and a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to 125 °C, this connector maintains reliable connections in demanding industrial conditions. The 4-position, 4-cavity layout is compatible with standard PCB footprints, simplifying design-in and lifecycle planning. The SMS4SE4T is designed for quick sourcing within the Souriau SMS series, enabling consistent supply chains and component standardization across machine builders. Overall, this connector supports safer, faster assembly, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership in automation projects.

FAQs
Install the SMS4SE4T as a front-mount panel receptacle, aligning the four cavities with the PCB footprint. Since there is no backshell option, ensure adequate panel cutout clearance and proper panel sealing if required. The loaded contacts simplify the mating process, and the four-position layout supports straightforward trace routing on standard PCBs.
The SMS4SE4T features four PCB contacts in a 4-cavity layout with tin pre-plated contacts. It operates from -55 °C to 125 °C and carries IP30 protection. The device uses a push-pull coupling for quick mating and is REACH compliant with UL94 V0 flammability, suitable for industrial automation environments.
Yes. The push-pull coupling provides secure mating that resists loosening under vibration, while the front-mount panel design minimizes movement within the panel. The combination of four contact paths and tin-plated PCB contacts supports robust conductivity and long-term reliability in dynamic industrial applications.
SMS4SE4T is IP30-rated, UL94 V0-compliant for flammability, and REACH-compliant. These certifications support safe operation in automated equipment and compliance with common regulatory requirements in manufacturing environments.
Yes. Its loaded four-contact configuration minimizes assembly steps, the compact 13.4 mm x 21.3 mm x 5.9 mm footprint saves panel space, and the durable tin-plated contacts improve reliability. Combined with quicker sourcing within the Souriau SMS series ecosystem, this reduces installation time, maintenance intervals, and overall lifecycle costs.
