IP68/69K sealing in unmated conditions ensures robust ingress protection even before mating, reducing pre-wiring leakage and corrosion risk. This translates to fewer field faults and longer service life in outdoor machinery and wet environments. Ten gold-plated solder contacts deliver low contact resistance and reliable signal transfer under load, with a 10 A UL / 16 A IEC current rating and 300 V IEC test voltage that support standard automation devices while maintaining safety margins in harsh wiring scenarios. A 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick, vibration-resistant mating in confined spaces, speeding installation and service. The backshell is designed for Flexible Conduit, and the connector ships with a complete assembly for straightforward installation. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C, UV resistance, and resistance to mineral oil and gasoline further ensure durable performance in demanding environments. With a mating cycle rating of 250, this connector is built for reliability and long service life in automation lines.
