FAQs
SMS9PH3TR29 is a front-mount, 9-position receptacle designed for PCB-to-panel interconnects. Its 61.7 mm depth and 22.9 mm width fit standard panel cutouts, and its right-angle boardmount with male contacts is compatible with compatible 9-position headers from the same family, enabling compact, reliable assemblies.
The connector supports a broad industrial range from -55 °C to 125 °C and carries IP30 protection. It uses tin pre-plated contacts and conforms to UL94 V0 flammability standards, with REACH compliance to address environmental and safety requirements in automation environments.
Install begins with ensuring a compatible front-mount panel cutout. Insert the 9-pin male contacts into the PCB header, then mate the plug from the front panel using the Push-Pull coupling for a secure connection. Verify contact seating and test continuity before powering the control system to minimize downtime.
Yes, the Push-Pull coupling provides reliable retention during vibration, and the rugged plastic shell plus tin-plated contacts improve mating integrity over time. For high-dynamic environments, ensure proper strain relief and grommeting to further enhance resilience.
Plan for periodic inspection of the front-mount panel receptacle and mating surfaces, especially in harsh environments. The tin pre-plated contacts offer good corrosion resistance, and the compact, 9-position design simplifies future replacements or reconfigurations without large redesigns of the PCB or enclosure.
