Push-Pull coupling enables fast, tool-free mating and unmating, reducing labor and error during panel wiring and field servicing. This translates to shorter down times on production lines and easier maintenance planning for automation systems in control cabinets. The 9-position layout supports high-density interconnects, allowing compact PCB assemblies without compromising signal integrity or load capacity. Front Mount Panel receptacle design simplifies installation, reduces chassis cutouts, and facilitates cleaner enclosures with consistent alignment and robust mechanical stability. Tin pre-plated contacts improve solderability and long-term corrosion resistance, boosting reliability in industrial environments and minimizing rework due to contact deterioration. The IP30 enclosure rating, UL94 V0 flammability rating, and REACH compliance provide clear regulatory alignment, easing procurement audits and customer qualification. This SMS series part benefits from compatibility across Souriau SMS tooling ecosystems, ensuring predictable performance and easier sourcing in supply chains for panel builders and OEMs.
