Eaton SMS6SE3K9 Receptacle Connector - IP30 Series
Part Number: SMS6SE3K9
Quick Summary
Eaton SMS6SE3K9 is a quick mating plastic rectangular connector designed for PCB sockets in compact control panels. Engineers often struggle with reliable mating in tight spaces, leading to misalignment, downtime, and costly rework during assembly. This family meets IP30 protection, RoHS and REACH compliance, and UL94 V0 flame rating to support safe, durable operation in industrial environments. With the front-mount panel receptacle, six PCB contacts, and gold-plated terminals, it delivers space-efficient, high-integrity connections for automation equipment and control cabinets. By simplifying mating and improving signal integrity, it reduces maintenance cycles and helps project teams meet timelines and warranty commitments.

FAQs
SMS6SE3K9 uses a front-mount panel receptacle design with six PCB contacts, making it compatible with compact board layouts and standard Souriau SMS series mating interfaces. Its 13.4 mm depth, 16.2 mm height, and 10.9 mm width support dense panel routing, while gold-plated contacts help maintain low contact resistance over time.
The connector features six PCB contacts with gold plating, a 4.7 g weight, and dimensions of 13.4 x 16.2 x 10.9 mm. It is IP30-rated and RoHS/REACH compliant, with UL94 V0 flammability. Operating temperature ranges from -55 °C to 125 °C, enabling reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Yes. The front-mount panel receptacle and six-contact PCB arrangement are designed for tight automation spaces. The push-pull coupling provides quick mating, reducing assembly time, while the compact footprint supports high-density wiring typical in control cabinets and instrumentation panels.
SMS6SE3K9 carries IP30 protection, RoHS and REACH compliance, and UL94 V0 flammability. These certifications support regulatory alignment for electrical enclosures and industrial equipment, reducing compliance risk and easing procurement for regulated industrial projects.
The gold-plated PCB contacts and robust plastic housing reduce wear and corrosion, extending service intervals and lowering maintenance costs. The six-position, quick-mating design also shortens assembly time, delivering measurable ROI through faster production lines and fewer field failures in high-volume automation deployments.
