FAQs
To install SMS9P1, prepare the harness with crimp contacts, ensuring proper crimp termination and correct contact position. Align the straight plug with the counterpart and engage using the push-pull coupling for a secure mating. Confirm there is no backshell and that the enclosure opening provides enough clearance to avoid cable bend stress. Finally, test continuity and insulation resistance to verify a reliable connection before commissioning.
SMS9P1 features nine crimp contacts in a 9-cavity layout, with a plug-type connection and push-pull coupling. It has an IP30 protection rating, operating from -55 °C to 125 °C, and a plastic shell rated UL94 V0. It is RoHS and REACH compliant, designed for general industrial use in automated systems while prioritizing compact form factor and lightweight design.
SMS9P1 is intended for interior use within panels and enclosures where dust protection is adequate (IP30). While it provides robust mechanical mating and a flame-rated plastic shell, it is not a sealed IP-rated solution for exposure to liquids. For harsh environments, ensure compatible enclosure protection and proper cable routing to minimize ingress risk and maintain reliability.
SMS9P1 carries UL94 V0 flammability ratings and RoHS/REACH compliance, supporting safe material selection and regulatory adherence. The IP30 ingress protection rating ensures basic enclosure protection in non-wetter environments. While CE marking is not explicitly listed here, these certifications help streamline safety assessments and global procurement by aligning with common industrial compliance expectations.
Using SMS9P1 can deliver a favorable return on investment through reduced assembly time due to quick mating, fewer misalignments, and easier field replacements thanks to crimp contacts and a compact footprint. The 9-position layout enables standardized harnesses, lowering inventory diversity, while the lightweight shell minimizes panel loading and potential cable strain, contributing to higher uptime and lower maintenance costs.
