FAQs
SMS6GE5 is designed for six‑circuit front‑mount panel interfaces in industrial control panels, machine dashboards, and automation cabinets. Its compact footprint and PCB90° contacts support reliable, space‑efficient connections in crowded enclosures, helping system integrators streamline wiring and reduce panel size without sacrificing signal integrity.
Yes. The SMS6GE5 provides IP30 protection, and its housing meets UL94 V0 flammability requirements while complying with REACH and RoHS regulations. This combination helps ensure safety, environmental compliance, and suitability for indoor electrical installations in general automation environments.
SMS6GE5 is a front‑mount panel receptacle with six gold‑plated PCB90° contacts. The connector supports a six‑circuit layout, with six cavities designed for a robust PCB interface. It delivers a compact 24.5 mm depth, 30.2 mm width, and 11.9 mm height, enabling reliable, space‑efficient panel integration.
Consider enclosure space, mounting hole dimensions, and mating clearance for the front‑mount receptacle. The device uses a push‑pull coupling for quick mating and does not support a backshell. Ensure your panel cavity tolerances match the 24.5 mm depth and 30.2 mm width for a secure fit and reliable electrical contact.
The gold‑plated contacts reduce wear and corrosion, lowering contact resistance over time. The push‑pull mating and 90° PCB configuration simplify field maintenance and replacement, reducing downtime. Lightweight construction and compact footprint also contribute to easier inventory management and lower installation labor costs in wide‑scale automation deployments.
