Sealed IP68/69K housing and neoprene insert protect against water, dust, and aggressive environments, delivering lower maintenance costs and fewer ingress-related failures for critical control signals in washdown areas. The 3-position, 3-contact design with gold-plated solder cups enhances signal integrity and corrosion resistance, translating to longer life in vibration-prone machinery and higher uptime in automation lines. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick, tool-free mating and disassembly, reducing installation time and field labor while improving fit-and-finish in panel assemblies. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C, the connector withstands temperature swings and outdoor exposure, supporting reliable operation in cold starts, heat, and sunlit environments. With 250 mating cycles and a compact plastic shell, it suits dense control enclosures and lightweight robotics, delivering durable performance without adding bulk to harnesses. The combination of 7 A current rating and 32 V IEC / 250 V UL/CSA test voltages ensures consistent performance across standard control and signaling applications, while corrosion-resistant gold contacts maintain low contact resistance over the life of the installation. The product’s neoprene insert, plastic shell, and 8-shell size deliver a robust yet lightweight solution for aerospace-grade, industrial-grade, and outdoor equipment where space is at a premium.
