Eaton SMS6RE4S6 Quick Mating Plastic Connector - IP30

Push-Pull quick-mating reduces assembly time and minimizes mis-mates on production lines, translating to higher line throughput and lower labor costs. The business impact is clearer uptime and faster changeovers in automated equipment, with the SMS6RE4S6 serving six circuits in a compact 13.4 mm footprint for tight panel arrays and modular automation architectures. In practice, this feature supports streamlined installation and fewer field failures during commissioning, especially in robotics and CNC machinery where reliable mating is critical. Front Mount Panel receptacle design enables straightforward integration into enclosure fronts, eliminating complex cabling runs and enabling quicker diagnostics during maintenance. The six-cavity, PCB-contact layout with tin-plated contacts enhances soldering reliability and corrosion resistance, delivering long-term durability in harsh factory environments and reducing replacement costs. The connector’s environmental credentials—REACH, RoHS—and UL94 V0 flame rating provide regulatory confidence for automotive, industrial, and process automation programs. IP30 protection paired with a plastic shell keeps costs down while maintaining adequate enclosure protection for indoor industrial settings. The loaded contact delivery accelerates panel assembly by ensuring ready-to-use components straight from the box, improving first-time-right assembly rates. With no backshell option, designers can rely on compact footprint economics and avoid unnecessary accessory costs in standard control-panel applications. The overall solution supports scalable 6-circuit configurations, aiding common part consolidation across product families and improving supply-chain efficiency. In practice, engineers can balance performance with cost, delivering robust interconnects for automated lines, machine cabinets, and instrumentation panels.
