Eaton SMS6PHGE6 Quick Mating Plastic Connector - IP30
Part Number: SMS6PHGE6
Quick Summary
SMS6PHGE6 is a quick-mating plastic rectangular connector for PCB-mounted assemblies in industrial control panels. It simplifies field service and reduces downtime by delivering secure, push-pull mating in tight spaces. It carries IP30 protection and UL94 V0 flammability compliance, with RoHS and REACH conformance for regulated markets. Designed for board-mounted, receptacle-type connections in automation systems, it helps reduce assembly time and long-term costs, while offering reliable compatibility with Souriau SMS series components. Engineers benefit from tighter panel layouts, easier maintenance, and consistent mating forces across installations. This combination supports scalable automation projects with fewer spare-part SKUs and improved uptime.

FAQs
Begin by selecting a compatible panel cutout for the front-mount receptacle. Align the connector with the mating counterpart, ensure the six PCB contacts engage cleanly, and push until the latch seats with a confident click. Since there is no backshell option, route cables to avoid strain and verify IP30 sealing after the panel is closed. This minimizes field rework and protects connections from vibration.
SMS6PHGE6 provides a six-position, gold-plated PCB contact array in a compact 46.5 mm × 22.9 mm × 9.4 mm package designed for front-mount panel receptacles. Its PCB-contact type ensures reliable signal transmission, while push-pull coupling accelerates mating/demating cycles. The device is RoHS/REACH compliant and UL94 V0 rated, making it appropriate for regulated automation and instrument panels.
Yes. The connector operates from -55 °C to 125 °C, with a plastic shell designed for industrial use. It carries IP30 protection and meets flammability and environmental compliance standards (UL94 V0, RoHS, REACH). This makes SMS6PHGE6 suitable for equipment exposed to wide temperature swings, dust, and vibration in control cabinets and automated systems.
SMS6PHGE6 integrates RoHS and REACH material compliance and UL94 V0 flammability rating, aligning with common industrial and electrical safety standards. Its IP30 rating covers basic protection against solid objects, while the product’s Souriau SMS lineage ensures compatibility with existing SMS components. Verify regional requirements such as CE marking where applicable for your market.
The push-pull quick mating reduces commissioning and maintenance time, lowering labor costs during panel assembly and field service. Gold-plated PCB contacts minimize wear and corrosion, extending lifecycle and reducing replacement parts. The compact form factor and no backshell option simplify installs in tight spaces, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s life.
