Feature → Quick-mating with push-pull coupling enables fast, secure connections, reducing field installation time and rework in control cabinets. This translates to tangible productivity gains during harness assembly and cabinet wiring, particularly in high-mix automation environments. Feature → Compact, lightweight plastic shell (32.9 mm L × 18.6 mm W × 13.4 mm H; 4.3 g) improves cable routing and enclosure density, allowing more efficient use of panel space and easier access in tight installations. Feature → Six-position crimp contacts provide robust signal paths for multi-line harnesses, simplifying inventory and ensuring consistent contact performance across assemblies used in servo drives and I/O modules. Feature → IP40 protection with UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH compliance delivers safety and regulatory confidence for industrial environments, reducing risk during audits and customer approvals. Feature → Free-hanging receptacle with no backshell option streamlines integration in vertical or overhead wiring, minimizing parts and simplifying field termination. Feature → Wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to 105 °C) supports reliability in harsh environments, extending service intervals and lowering maintenance costs. Feature → The six-contact layout (6 cavities) aligns with common automation wiring schemes, enabling quick migration from legacy connectors without redesigning harnesses, reducing engineering time and inventory overhead.
