Eaton SMS6R1 Quick Mating Plastic Connector - IP30
Part Number: SMS6R1
Quick Summary
SMS6R1 is a quick-mating plastic rectangular connector designed for panel-mounted applications in automation and wiring harness assemblies. Design challenges like limited space and vibration-induced mating issues are common in control panels, and users need reliable connections to avoid downtime. This Souriau SMS series part is RoHS and REACH compliant, with UL94 V0 flammability rating and IP30 protection to safeguard electronics in moderate industrial environments. Its lightweight 3.7 g body, compact 25 mm length, and front-mount panel receptacle design help reduce controller enclosure size while speeding assembly. By delivering robust crimp contacts and a push-pull coupling, SMS6R1 supports repeatable, field-serviceable connections that lower total cost of ownership.

Push-Pull coupling delivers quick mating and secure retention, reducing assembly time and operator fatigue in high-volume automation environments. It also minimizes wear on contacts and improves uptime in robotic cells and conveyor controls. Six-position, six-contact arrangement (6 cavities) supports multiple signals in a compact footprint, simplifying wiring harnesses, reducing routing complexity, and lowering wiring errors and service time during maintenance. The lightweight plastic shell with precise dimensions—25 mm long, 16.2 mm wide, 20.3 mm high—contributes to smaller enclosures and lighter assemblies, offering tangible space and weight savings for control panels and machine subassemblies. Front-mount panel receptacle design and crimp contact delivery streamline installation, while the absence of a backshell option reduces part count and installation steps. The SMS6R1 also stands up to industrial use with IP30 protection and a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C to 125 °C, maintaining reliability in harsh environments. Compliance with RoHS and REACH, plus UL94 V0 flammability rating, provides regulatory peace of mind and supports formal safety programs in manufacturing and automation settings. These characteristics make the SMS6R1 a compatible choice for Souriau SMS series ecosystems, enabling faster field servicing, easier cable management, and scalable connections for multi-axis controllers, PLCs, and distributed I/O in rugged automation environments.

FAQs
Install SMS6R1 as a front-mount panel receptacle in a suitable control panel cutout, then terminate the six crimp contacts to the corresponding wires. Use the push-pull coupling for mating and ensure the connector is firmly seated to achieve the IP30 protection rating. Note that there is no backshell accessory available for this part, so plan for direct panel integration and proper cable routing within the enclosure.
SMS6R1 provides six crimp contacts arranged in six cavities within a six-position receptacle. The contact type is crimp, which supports reliable signal or small power connections in panel-mounted applications. This configuration aligns with compact automation needs and simplifies harness assembly for front-mount panel installations.
SMS6R1 uses a push-pull coupling that helps secure mating after installation and improves retention in dynamic environments. While its IP30 rating offers basic dust protection, for extreme dust or harsh vibration conditions you should evaluate enclosure protection and cable routing strategies, as there is no backshell accessory to add additional environmental protection for this specific model.
SMS6R1 is RoHS and REACH compliant and features UL94 V0 flammability rating. It also carries IP30 protection, and operates reliably across -55 °C to 125 °C. These certifications support regulatory compliance in manufacturing and automation environments and help ensure safe, compliant integration in industrial equipment.
SMS6R1 is a front-mount panel receptacle with six-crimp contacts, designed for compact panel installations and quick mating via push-pull coupling. Unlike some backshell-enabled versions, SMS6R1 focuses on simplified assembly with a lighter footprint and a straightforward 6-circuit configuration, making it ideal for space-constrained automation panels and modular control architectures.
