Push-pull coupling with quick mating reduces assembly time and mating errors, delivering measurable gains in uptime and throughput. In automated lines, faster connector engagement minimizes machine idle time and improves start-up reliability, supporting lean manufacturing goals. Six-position straight plug layout simplifies harness routing and reduces part variety, enabling cleaner cable harnesses and easier field maintenance. This is especially valuable in conveyors and robotics where space is tight and cable management drives overall reliability. Integrated strain relief shields the cable against flexing and stress, lowering repair costs and extending service life in vibration-heavy environments. It also helps protect conductor terminations from pull-out, ensuring consistent electrical performance across shifts. IP30 protection with RoHS/REACH compliance and UL94 V0 flame rating ensures safe operation and regulatory alignment across global facilities. This reduces compliance overhead and supports supplier diversity in multinational projects. Operating temperature range from -55 to 125 °C and a plastic shell allow dependable operation in extreme climates and industrial settings, lowering the need for heavier housings or guards. The result is lower total cost of ownership and easier long-term maintenance.

FAQs
SMS6PDH1 uses a straight plug configuration with a 6-position layout and integrated strain relief, designed to mate with other SMS series elements that share the same connector family. The 6-cavity design minimizes complexity in harness routing, while the backshell and crimp contact delivery ensure seamless field assembly. For compatibility, verify the catalog number and mating subgroup within the Souriau SMS family and confirm crimp contact type matches your wire sizes.
The SMS6PDH1 features six crimp contacts in six cavities with a push-pull coupling for quick mating. It is rated IP30, made from plastic shell material, and supports an operating range from -55 °C to 125 °C. It complies with RoHS and REACH, and carries UL94 V0 flammability. The connector is designed for compact harnesses and is not delivered with contact delivery, aligning with integration into pre-assembled cable assemblies.
Yes. SMS6PDH1 is designed for demanding settings, featuring an IP30 protection rating and a wide operating temperature range of -55 to 125 °C. The plastic shell with UL94 V0 rating provides flame resistance, while RoHS and REACH compliance support global production. Its integrated strain relief protects against cable flexing and environmental stress, contributing to long-term reliability in vibration-heavy machinery.
SMS6PDH1 adheres to RoHS and REACH requirements, ensuring restricted substances are managed across global supply chains. The UL94 V0 rating guarantees flame performance, and IP30 protection confirms basic enclosure integrity. Together, these certifications simplify regulatory approvals for equipment integrators and help maintain consistent compliance across multinational deployments.
The quick mating push-pull design reduces installation and startup times, lowering labor costs and minimizing downtime. Integrated strain relief decreases cable damage and termination failures, extending service life. A standardized 6‑cavity layout reduces spare part variety, while RoHS/REACH plus UL94 V0 support regulatory compliance, reducing risk and maintenance overhead in automated lines, robotics, and conveyors.
