Push‑Pull coupling delivers fast, secure mating while reducing cycle times and the risk of misengagement. The business impact is clearer build efficiency and lower field-service costs due to fewer restart attempts after connection errors. This makes the SMS6GE63 ideal for panel-to-board interfaces in robotics cells, CNC controls, and conveyor systems. With six signal paths in a compact 24.5 mm depth, 30.2 mm width, and 11.9 mm height footprint, the design streamlines harnessing and wiring schedules. The result is reduced panel cutouts and simplified inventory planning, enabling faster changeovers and less cabling complexity in compact automation cabinets. Gold-plated PCB contacts provide improved corrosion resistance and reliable signal integrity across long service life. The business impact is lower maintenance intervals and fewer contact resistance issues in dirty or humid environments, suitable for sensors, actuators, and drive electronics where consistent conductivity matters. Flame-retardant plastic shell with UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH compliance supports safety and regulatory adherence, aiding customer approvals and smoother integration into certified control panels for industrial machinery. IP40 protection and a -40 to 105 C operating range give designers confidence for indoor industrial and machine tool environments, reducing the need for protective enclosures and expanding deployment options while keeping costs down. Front mount panel receptacle, loaded with male PCB contacts, provides straightforward installation and reliable mating without back shells, though no backshell option is available, so plan for alternative shielding in your enclosure. The 9 g weight and compact form factor help you maximize space in tight control cabinets and panel layouts.

FAQs
SMS6GE63 is a front-mount panel receptacle designed for six PCB contacts with a compact footprint. It provides straightforward panel mounting with a front-facing interface and gold-plated PCB contacts for reliable signal transfer. Note that there is no backshell option available, so installation must account for existing panel protection and shielding. The connector supports RoHS and REACH compliance, UL94 V0 flame rating, and IP40 protection, ensuring robust performance in typical indoor industrial environments.
The push-pull coupling offers a quick, secure latch that aligns and mates contacts reliably, reducing misalignment and rework. In high-cycle automation applications, this translates to lower mating wear, fewer loose connections after vibration, and faster line changeovers. For SMS6GE63, this is particularly beneficial in robotics, conveyors, and servo systems where rapid, repeated connections are routine.
SMS6GE63 specifies no backshell compatibility, which means you should plan panel and enclosure designs that incorporate internal shielding or alternative protective features. While this simplifies the connector itself, it requires careful enclosure planning to maintain IP40 protection and environmental sealing in your application.
SMS6GE63 carries UL94 V0 flame rating and RoHS/REACH compliance, with IP40 protection. It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and uses gold-plated PCB contacts for durability and signal integrity. The plastic shell supports fire safety and environmental standards typical in industrial control panels and machinery, helping with compliance documentation and customer qualifications.
The six-position, push‑pull design reduces assembly time and error‑driven downtime, while gold-plated contacts extend service life in harsh environments. Combined with reliable mating and minimal cabling, operators can expect faster changeovers, lower maintenance costs, and improved equipment availability—translating to tangible productivity gains and faster time-to-value in high-volume manufacturing.
