Waterproof IP68/69k protection provides reliable field connections in washdown and outdoor environments, reducing moisture-related failures and maintenance costs, while enabling safe operation in harsh settings. The 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers fast, secure mating with vibration resistance, cutting downtime during assembly and service. The 2-pin solder cup contacts with gold plating ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance for long-term signal integrity, which translates to fewer rework tasks and higher equipment uptime. A compact, plastic shell (Shell size 8) and Neoprene insert support easy harness routing and moisture sealing without requiring heavy backshell hardware, simplifying installation in tight spaces. The 7 A current rating and 32 V/250 V test voltages provide clear electrical limits for dependable machine wiring across automation panels. Certified to RoHS exemption 6.c, CSA, IEC 61984, and UL 1977, this connector meets global safety and regulatory expectations for industrial equipment. In practice, users gain improved reliability, predictable maintenance cycles, and smoother integration into Souriau UTS-based harnesses for diverse applications such as mobile machinery and outdoor automation.
