SMS purchased the assets of a company involved in the molding of rubber connectors used in mining, tunneling, heavy industry, and the entertainment industries since the mid 60's. We do most of our machining of contact pins and manufacturing molds in-house. We strive to provide the best service, manufacture quality products, and delivery at reasonable prices. Our products are routinely sold through reputable distributors which are selected from strategic locations across North America. SMS Cable ConnectorsSpecial Mine Services manufactures a complete line of molded neoprene single, multi-pole, and quick-lok connectors for the Entertainment, Mining, & Government industries engineered and designed to be interchangeable and compatible with other major manufactured connectors. SMS Entertainment ConnectorsSpecial Mine Services manufactures a line of connectors used in the Entertainment Industry which are both CSA and UL certified. They are interchangeable with other manufacturers. The advantage that our product has over our competitors is the ease with which it goes together. The assembly process is the same on all styles from different manufactures. The advantage of the SMS product design is when the sleeve is pulled over the contact, align the hole in the rubber sleeve with the hole in the contacts and then insert a phenolic retaining pin. The hole through the rubber sleeve is significantly smaller than the pin thereby creating a water tight fit between the two parts.
SMS Mining ConnectorsSpecial Mine Services has been a major manufacturer of connectors used in the Mining Industry since 1960 with several workmen having over thirty years of experience. All our connectors are interchangeable with other manufacturers. We have been instrumental in the development of a new lever action connector design which has become the industry standard in Canada and is making in roads in the United States. Special Mine Service does not require a minimum order nor any special charges for special make items. We have our own in-house machine shop and do all our molding in-house. Capabilities from small single pole to large round multi-pole connectors to connectors accepting 500 MCM, 3 conductor, GGC and SHD type cable.
