FAQs
Begin with crimp contacts suitable for the 8-contact arrangement, then insert into the straight plug housing. Use the first mate last break capability to complete mating, ensuring the ground cavity is properly seated. Confirm IP68 seals are engaged, and if overmolding is required, select the 'Only to be overmolded' option. This streamlines field replacements and minimizes downtime.
The assembly is rated for 16 A per IEC and 16 A per UL, with voltage ratings of 500 V IEC and 600 V UL. It supports 8 contacts across a 2G1W5 layout, with 3 cavities for #16 and 5 cavities for #20, enabling robust power and control wiring in compact spaces.
Yes. It features IP68 ingress protection and environmental resistance against oil, mineral oil, acids, and basic baths, plus UV resistance. RoHS and REACH compliance further ensure regulatory suitability for outdoor and demanding industrial applications such as automation panels and field devices.
It complies with UL 1977 and IEC 61984, providing verified interconnection safety for power and control systems. The product also adheres to RoHS and REACH directives, with an IP68 rating for moisture defense and a broad operating temperature range suitable for diverse production environments.
