FAQs
SMS9CH2Z17 is a front-mount panel receptacle designed for 9-contact PCB interfaces in automation gear. It uses PCB 90° contacts and a loaded contact delivery, enabling reliable, space-efficient board-to-panel connections. The 9-cavity layout supports predictable wiring and repeatable assembly in control cabinets and panel assemblies.
The connector carries REACH and RoHS compliance, a UL94 V0 flame rating, and an IP30 protection class. These specifications support regulatory alignment for indoor industrial environments and flame safety, reducing risk in electrical assemblies and facilitating compliance documentation.
SMS9CH2Z17 offers IP30 protection, which is suitable for indoor, dry environments with modest exposure to dust. Its operating temperature range from -55 °C to 125 °C supports reliability in varied factory conditions, but it is not a sealed outdoor-rated connector. For harsher settings, consider additional enclosure or protective measures.
Push-Pull coupling provides fast, lockable mating and unmating, reducing installation time and minimizing misalignment during connection. This is especially valuable in modular automation configurations where quick field servicing and reliable repeated connections are essential for uptime and ease of maintenance.
The 9-position, front-mount design reduces BOM complexity and wiring density, lowering assembly time and potential errors. With RoHS/REACH compliance and UL94 V0 safety, the solution minimizes regulatory risk, supporting long service intervals and predictable maintenance planning in automated production lines.
