Eaton SMS9PDH3 Plastic Rectangular Connector - UL94 V0
Part Number: SMS9PDH3
Quick Summary
Eaton SMS9PDH3 is a quick-mating plastic rectangular connector for compact control panel wiring. Engineers often struggle with secure mating in tight spaces and vibration, which can lead to intermittent connections. Key certifications include UL94 V0 flame rating, RoHS and REACH compliance, and IP40 protection for indoor electrical assemblies. Designed for fast, reliable installations with an integrated strain relief hood and crimp contacts, it delivers durable performance in automation environments while keeping cable management tidy and reducing field service time. Its 9-position layout supports compact harness design, while the 60.1 mm length and 8.8 g weight minimize space impact in panel doors and machine tops, helping machine builders meet tight installation envelopes without compromising reliability.

FAQs
SMS9PDH3 uses a straight plug with crimp contacts and an integrated strain relief hood, designed for quick, reliable harness assembly. It fits standard 9-cavity panels and supports a compact 60.1 mm length footprint, minimizing enclosure intrusion while delivering robust mating even in vibration-heavy environments.
Key specs include the push-pull coupling for secure mating, IP40 protection to resist dust ingress, and a wide operating range from -40 °C to 105 °C. The flame rating UL94 V0 adds safety in heat-prone areas, and the 9-crimp contact configuration ensures consistent electrical performance under dynamic loads.
Yes. Its 9-position layout, compact dimensions, and lightweight design are ideal for robotics harnesses. The integral strain relief reduces cable stress, while the quick-mating push-pull feature minimizes downtime during tool changes or maintenance, which is critical in automated production lines.
The connector carries UL94 V0 flame rating and RoHS/REACH compliance, along with IP40 protection. These certifications ensure fire safety, regulatory compliance for electronics in many regions, and suitable protection for indoor industrial installations where dust exposure is a concern.
Expect reduced installation and maintenance time due to quick mating and integrated strain relief, fewer mating failures in vibration-prone environments, and improved reliability from crimp termination. Over multiple assemblies, these factors translate to lower labor costs, less field service, and faster project top-line delivery.
