Six-position, straight plug design delivers a compact footprint suitable for crowded control panels and small automation enclosures, reducing wiring complexity while maintaining six dependable signal paths. This translates to faster harness assembly and easier field servicing in robotics and machine automation applications. The IP40 rating paired with UL94 V0 flame retardant housing ensures safer operation and regulatory alignment in manufacturing environments, helping you meet safety standards and avoid costly rework. The no backshell option simplifies procurement and minimizes parts variants, while the crimp contact delivery supports rapid, consistent terminations with high contact reliability. Push-Pull coupling enables quick mating and unmating, cutting maintenance time and improving uptime in continuous production lines. The plastic shell keeps weight low (6.21 g) and supports mounting flexibility in compact enclosures, with a six-cavity layout that scales neatly with modular control architectures. Compatibility with the Souriau SMS series ecosystem means existing tooling and crimp terminals can be leveraged to reduce changeover time and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
SMS6PD3 uses crimp contacts and does not offer a backshell accessory option. To maximize reliability, select compatible six-position crimp terminals designed for the SMS series and ensure proper crimp tooling and inspection. This approach minimizes contact resistance and ensures consistent mating performance in dense panel layouts.
SMS6PD3 operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, providing resilience across cold start and high-heat cabinet environments. It carries IP40 protection, UL94 V0 flame retardant housing, and RoHS/REACH compliance, supporting safe use in standard industrial automation and electronics enclosures.
Yes. The 6-position, straight plug design, Push-Pull coupling, and compact 32.9 mm length fit tightly packed robotic control panels and automation cabinets. With crimp contacts and a lightweight 6.21 g profile, it enables reliable interconnects while facilitating quick field servicing and modular expansion in automated systems.
SMS6PD3 carries UL94 V0 flame retardant housing and RoHS/REACH compliance, with IP40 protection. While not rated at higher ingress levels, this makes it suitable for general control cabinet wiring and many automation environments. For harsher environments, evaluate higher IP-rated solutions or add protective enclosures as needed.
The Push-Pull coupling enables faster mating and unmating, reducing installation and maintenance time on busy lines. The six-position layout simplifies harness design, and the lightweight plastic shell lowers overall weight in assemblies. Combined, these factors can shorten project timelines, lower labor costs, and improve uptime in routine maintenance cycles.
