FAQs
SMS9SE4T is a front-mount panel receptacle with a 9-contact PCB interface designed for straight boardmount and panel integration. Its tin-plated contacts are compatible with standard PCB pads, and the compact 13.4 mm depth plus 16 mm width simplify fits in tight control panels while maintaining reliable electrical contact during vibration.
Key specs include nine contacts with male pins, tin pre-plated contact plating, a 13.4 mm depth, 16.2 mm height, and 16 mm width. The connector uses Push-Pull coupling, is IP30 rated, and operates from -55 °C to 125 °C. It ships pre-loaded and is a front-mount panel receptacle designed for reliable harnessing.
Yes. The design adheres to IP30 ingress protection and UL94 V0 flammability, with REACH compliance. These certifications help ensure safe operation in industrial automation environments and support regulatory approvals for global deployments.
The Push-Pull mating reduces assembly and maintenance time, while the 9-position layout enables denser, error-free wiring. Tin-plated contacts improve durability, and front-mountability speeds field service, resulting in lower total cost of ownership and faster time-to-market for automation equipment.
