Eaton SMS9SE4K9 Rectangular Connector - IP30
Part Number: SMS9SE4K9
Quick Summary
SMS9SE4K9 is a quick-mating plastic rectangular connector for PCB-to-board interconnects in control panels. Engineers often struggle with reliable mating, space constraints, and messy wiring in tight panels. UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS, and REACH conformance support safety, environmental compliance, and supply-chain standards. Together with IP30 protection and a compact 13.4 mm by 16 mm footprint, this connector minimizes panel space while boosting reliability. That translates to faster assembly and lower rework costs for automated equipment. In high-volume production, the front-mount receptacle and 9-pin PCB contacts simplify cabling standards and streamline supplier qualification. The combination of gold-plated contacts and robust plastic housing enhances longevity in demanding industrial environments.

Nine-position contact layout with a front-mount panel receptacle and straight PCB contacts improves mating geometry, reducing misalignment and accelerating field assembly in dense control panels. This translates to fewer retries, lower labor costs, and improved signal integrity across 9 circuits in automation applications. Push-Pull coupling plus IP30 protection enables rapid, secure mating even in dusty factory floors, boosting uptime and simplifying maintenance in conveyors and packaging lines. Gold plating on PCB contacts lowers contact resistance, extends life under high-cycle operation, and reduces maintenance intervals in servo and motor drive interfaces. The plastic shell handles harsh environments from -55 °C to 125 °C, providing predictable performance in temperature-variant plants. The 9-cavity design with no backshell option streamlines procurement and assembly, while compatibility with Souriau SMS series ensures scalable modularity for future expansion and rework reduction. Regulatory alignment with UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH further reduces supplier qualification time and risk.

FAQs
SMS9SE4K9 offers a front-mount panel receptacle and straight PCB contacts with 9 cavities, enabling straightforward PCB-to-panel integration. It ships ready for load contact delivery and does not include a backshell option, which simplifies procurement but requires careful cable routing and panel cutouts to ensure proper alignment and sealing in non-enclosed environments.
Key performance specs include nine gold-plated PCB contacts for low contact resistance and robust mating in DC and signal paths, IP30 protection for basic ingress protection, and a wide operating temperature range of -55 to 125 °C. The push-pull coupling provides quick, secure mating, reducing downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration in automation lines.
Yes. SMS9SE4K9 is part of the Souriau SMS series and uses the same quick-mating, plastic rectangular connector family. It is designed as a front-mmount panel receptacle with PCB contacts, allowing scalable integration with other SMS series receptacles and mating connectors, enabling modular interconnect solutions in automated systems.
This connector carries UL94 V0 flammability compliance and environmental certifications RoHS and REACH. These standards support safety in matériel design, regulatory alignment for electronics manufacturing, and easier supplier qualification for systems integrators in regulated industries.
The ROI stems from faster assembly due to quick-mating geometry, reduced field failures due to reliable PCB-to-panel connectivity, and lower maintenance costs from durable gold-plated contacts. Its compact footprint and absence of backshell requirements also minimize component counts and labor, accelerating deployment in control panels and motor-drive applications.
