FAQs
SMS6RE4TR29 supports front-mount panel receptacle installation with six PCB contacts in a six-position layout. It is designed for PCB-to-panel mating in compact automation cabinets and does not include a backshell accessory, simplifying BOM and installation.
The connector uses Tin pre-plated PCB contacts in a six-contact configuration, with a front-mount panel receptacle and Push-Pull coupling. This delivers secure mating, quick assembly, and reliable signal paths suitable for small-to-mid sized control panels in automation environments.
Yes. It features UL94 V0 flammability rating and IP30 environmental protection, along with REACH compliance. These specifications support safety and regulatory alignment for indoor industrial applications and general-purpose automation equipment.
Push-Pull coupling provides rapid, single-handed mating with secure retention, which reduces assembly time and rework. In automation lines with frequent field servicing, this design improves uptime and simplifies maintenance while maintaining reliable contact performance.
Operate within the −55 °C to 125 °C range and install the connector in a protected enclosure to maximize IP30 performance. Use the tin-plated PCB contacts for durable conductivity, and recognize that there is no backshell option to maintain a compact footprint. Proper enclosure and mounting practices are essential for reliability.
