Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SMS9GE43 utilizes a 9-position PCB contact layout, enabling nine signal paths to be bundled in a single connector, which reduces wiring harness complexity and panel footprint in automation cabinets. This translates to measurable gains in assembly speed and reliability for compact control panels across manufacturing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Push-Pull coupling provides quick mating with robust retention, improving vibration resistance in machinery and field environments, which lowers mis-mating risk and service calls. Use this in equipment where frequent maintenance or quick field swaps are needed. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Front Mount Panel receptacle design simplifies installation, reduces panel cutouts, and streamlines retrofit projects, delivering faster commissioning in machine upgrades and new builds. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold-plated PCB contacts offer superior corrosion resistance and stable signal integrity over time, supporting long life in demanding environments and reducing contact resistance drift in high-cycle applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Flame-retardant plastic housing with UL94 V0 rating, IP40 protection, and RoHS/REACH compliance enhances safety and regulatory alignment in European and global deployments. This support aids risk mitigation during audits and customer acceptance testing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C expands suitability for equipment in harsh industrial settings, enabling multi-region deployments without part changes. This lowers spare-part inventories and accelerates global rollout of control systems.

FAQs
The SMS9GE43 is a 9-position front-mount PCB receptacle from the Eaton Souriau SMS series, designed for quick mating in compact PCB interfaces. It’s ideal for industrial control panels and automation cabinets where space is tight and reliable PCB connectivity is essential, providing a robust, easy-to-install solution for 9-point signal paths.
Yes. The SMS9GE43 is specifically a front-mount panel receptacle with nine PCB contacts. It simplifies panel cutouts, reduces wiring complexity, and supports reliable mating in compact panel designs. Note that there is no backshell accessory option for this variant, so plan enclosure routing accordingly.
Key specs include nine gold-plated PCB contacts, IP40 protection, a -40 °C to 105 °C operating range, and compatibility with RoHS and REACH requirements. The connector also features a UL94 V0 flame rating, aligning with safety standards for many industrial applications and helping with regulatory compliance.
To ensure reliability, mount the SMS9GE43 as a front-panel receptacle with proper alignment to the mating connector, use the 9-position layout to minimize wiring, and rely on the push-pull coupling for quick, stable mating even in vibration-prone environments. Pay attention to panel cutouts and mating clearance to avoid misalignment that can increase wear over time.
The nine-position design consolidates wiring, reducing harness complexity and assembly time. Gold-plated PCB contacts improve long-term reliability and reduce contact resistance changes, lowering field maintenance. The rugged IP40 and UL94 V0 ratings, combined with a broad operating temperature range, support multi-region deployments with fewer part variations and faster time-to-value for automation projects.
