FAQs
SMS6PH3TR29 is a front-mount panel receptacle with a six-contact, right-angle PCB header design. It fits standard SMS series configurations and supports six cavities. Ensure the mating partner matches the 6-position, push-pull coupling scheme and that the PCB layout accommodates a 46.5 mm length footprint for reliable clearance and routing.
IP30 provides protection against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm but offers no sealing against liquids. This makes the connector suitable for dry, controlled indoor environments and cleanroom-adjacent applications. For washdown or exposure to moisture, consider additional enclosure protection or different IP-rated variants.
Yes. The operating temperature range is -55 °C to 125 °C, covering typical ambient conditions in industrial automation, automotive test benches, and process equipment. In high-temperature zones, ensure cable routing and ambient cooling maintain the connector within its rated range to preserve mating integrity.
No backshell reduces attachment steps and enables a slimmer panel silhouette, contributing to easier retrofits and faster assembly on production lines. It also simplifies inventory management by decreasing the number of accessory SKUs, while the loaded contact design minimizes pre-wiring needs during assembly.
The combination of quick mating push-pull coupling, loaded tin-plated contacts, and a compact six-position layout reduces assembly time, rework, and warranty claims. In high-mix, high-volume environments, these efficiencies translate to lower labor costs, faster time-to-market, and more predictable supply chain performance.
