FAQs
The SMS9PHGE4 is a front-mount panel receptacle with nine PCB contacts delivered loaded, designed to mate with compatible plug headers from the SMS series. Ensure panel cutouts match the 61.7 mm length, 22.9 mm width, and 9.4 mm height footprint. Note that this model has no backshell accessory, so plan enclosure clearance and cable routing accordingly to maintain IP30 integrity and mechanical safety.
Key specs include 9 contact positions with gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and signal integrity, push-pull coupling for secure mating, and a IP30 rating. Operating range spans -55 °C to 125 °C. The connector is a receptacle with a straight pin header boardmount configuration, designed to ensure robust performance in automation and control panels.
Best suited for industrial automation, machine building, and control cabinet assemblies where compact, high-density connections are needed. Its wide operating temperature, UL94 V0 flame rating, RoHS/REACH compliance, and front-mount receptacle design make it ideal for robotics, conveyors, and packaging systems requiring reliable connections in space-constrained panels.
This connector adheres to UL94 V0 flammability standards and RoHS/REACH directives, ensuring safe, compliant operation in cabinets and industrial equipment. The IP30 rating provides basic protection against solids, suitable for indoor equipment. Verify with your system-level requirements to confirm compatibility with your regional electrical standards.
Loaded contacts and a front-mount panel design minimize installation time and reduce field labor. The 9-position arrangement streamlines cable management and spare parts, lowering inventory costs. In high-volume builds, the quick mating feature reduces downtime during upgrades or service, improving overall equipment efficiency and ROI for automation projects.
