Push-Pull coupling delivers fast, tool-free mating and reliable retention, reducing assembly time and rework in control panels and automation lines. Gold-plated PCB contacts provide durable signal integrity and corrosion resistance, cutting maintenance costs and extending service life in harsh factory environments. The compact front-mount panel receptacle footprint (13.4 mm depth x 16.2 mm height x 10.9 mm width) enables easier wiring in crowded cabinet interiors and simplifies enclosure design for high-density installations. The 6-position layout with a front-masket panel interface supports clean cable routing and consistent mating across SMS series partners, reducing errors during field upgrades and new equipment deployments. Compliance with RoHS and REACH, plus UL94 V0 flame rating, ensures regulatory adherence for industrial applications while supporting safer, more sustainable product life cycles. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C, the SMS6GE43 delivers reliable performance across diverse climates and factory conditions, minimizing temperature-related failures and enclosure needs. Loaded contact delivery simplifies procurement and assembly, ensuring a complete, ready-to-mate solution for panel-to-board connections in automation equipment.
