SMS6R1 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SMS6R1 is a 6-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton. This receptacle housing is designed for 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch applications and operates within the SMS series connector family. The component is a housing-only unit with contacts sold separately.

Current inventory status shows 787 pieces in stock as new original components. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure functional compatibility in applications requiring 6-position receptacle housings with identical pitch and mounting characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SMS6R1 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle Housing
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm)

The TST06RA00 from ITT Cannon, LLC meets all primary electrical and mechanical specifications required for substitution. Both housings accommodate the same contact configuration, pitch spacing, and mounting methodology. The substitute maintains compatibility with applications designed for SMS6R1 housings where the connector series transition is acceptable within system design parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SMS6R1 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when SMS series connector ecosystem is specified in system design
• Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton supply chain availability required
• Current inventory: 787 pieces in stock

TST06RA00 Selection Criteria:

• Alternative when Trident Rectangular series compatibility is acceptable
• ITT Cannon, LLC supply chain preferred or required
• Higher current inventory availability: 1272 pieces in stock
• Product Status: Active with ongoing manufacturing support
• RoHS3 Compliant certification
• REACH Unaffected status
• ECCN: EAR99 classification

Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 6-position receptacle housings with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. Selection between SMS6R1 and TST06RA00 depends on connector series requirements, supply chain constraints, and inventory availability at time of procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST06RA00 directly replace SMS6R1 in existing assemblies?

A: TST06RA00 is mechanically and electrically compatible with SMS6R1 based on matching position count, pitch, and receptacle housing configuration. However, connector series transition from SMS to Trident Rectangular must be verified within the complete system design to ensure mating plug compatibility and mechanical fit.

Q: Are contacts included with either housing?

A: No. Both SMS6R1 and TST06RA00 are housing-only components. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with the housing purchase.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: 6-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, receptacle housing type, 2-row arrangement with 0.200" (5.08mm) row spacing, and compatible mounting methodology (Panel Mount, Snap-In).

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these housings?

A: TST06RA00 operates from -55°C to 105°C. Operating temperature specifications for SMS6R1 were not provided in the component data.

Q: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: TST06RA00 is RoHS3 Compliant. RoHS compliance status for SMS6R1 was not specified in the available component data.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: SMS6R1 packaging type was not specified. TST06RA00 is supplied in Bulk packaging.

Q: Can I use these housings with different contact types?

A: TST06RA00 supports both Crimp and Solder contact termination types. Contact compatibility must be verified against the specific contact part numbers selected for your application, as contacts are procured separately from the housing.
