Eaton SMS6PHGE4 SMS Series Connector - IP30
Part Number: SMS6PHGE4
Quick Summary
Eaton SMS6PHGE4 is a Souriau SMS series quick mating plastic rectangular connector designed for compact, board-to-panel connections in rugged industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with secure mating during vibration, time-consuming assembly, and cramped panel layouts. This design addresses those pain points with a push-pull coupling and a front-mount panel receptacle that mates quickly and stays locked under harsh conditions. It carries RoHS and REACH compliance, plus UL94 V0 flammability rating, and supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to 125 °C, helping maintain performance in extreme environments. Together with its compact 6-position layout and gold-plated PCB contacts, it delivers reliable, cost-efficient panel-to-board connectivity for automation and machinery applications.

FAQs
The SMS6PHGE4 is a front-mount panel receptacle with six PCB contacts and a push-pull coupling. Ensure the panel cutout matches the 46.5 mm length, 22.9 mm width, and 9.4 mm height, and plan for a no backshell configuration as specified. Mating requires a compatible SMS plug, and the front-mount design supports straightforward panel integration with minimal wiring complexity.
SMS6PHGE4 features six gold-plated PCB contacts, a push-pull coupling, and an IP30 enclosure. It operates from -55 °C to 125 °C and complies with RoHS and REACH, with UL94 V0 flammability. These specs support reliable operation in industrial automation, control panels, and rugged environments while meeting regulatory requirements.
Yes. The push-pull coupling provides secure mating, and the six-pin PCB contact arrangement supports robust, vibration-tolerant connections. The 46.5 mm by 22.9 mm by 9.4 mm form factor offers a compact yet resilient interface, and the IP30 rating helps protect against dust ingress in typical industrial settings.
SMS6PHGE4 is RoHS and REACH compliant and rated UL94 V0 for flame retardancy, with an IP30 protection rating. These certifications support compliance in regulated manufacturing environments and reduce risk when integrating into automation and panel systems.
The front-mount, quick-mating design reduces assembly time and field maintenance, while gold-plated PCB contacts enhance longevity and reliability. With a compact footprint and no required backshell, total installation costs are minimized, providing a faster return on investment in automation projects and panel modernization efforts.
