Feature provides robust ingress protection with IP68 rating, delivering durable performance in washdown environments and reducing downtime due to moisture intrusion. Business impact translates to increased equipment availability and lower maintenance costs on automated lines; ideal for outdoor machinery and mobile equipment where sealing is critical. Application encompasses industrial automation, robotics, and CNC equipment, where guaranteed protection enables longer service intervals and better total cost of ownership. Feature highlights 14 contacts with gold-plated solder cups ensure signal integrity and reliable fault detection across a multi-circuit harness; this supports high-reliability control systems and safer automation architecture. The 1/3 bayonet coupling offers quick, secure mating with repeatable alignment, minimizing installation time and risk of partial connections in noisy factory floors. The backshell for flexible conduit simplifies cable management and reduces field-adaptation time, while the straight plug orientation streamlines panel mounting and harness routing. Operational temperature range from -40 to 105 °C, plus salt spray resistance and UV stability, provide confidence for rugged environments and demanding shifts. These attributes collectively enable better uptime, lower lifecycle costs, and straightforward compliance with industry standards.

FAQs
Installation starts by aligning the straight plug with the mate side and ensuring correct keying (W). The backshell for flexible conduit should be secured to the connector body, followed by a clean, moisture-free connection. Use the 1/3 bayonet coupling to seat firmly; verify electrical termination with gold-plated solder cups for best contact reliability. Check mating cycles and re-connect as needed during maintenance.
Expect a 14‑position contact matrix with 5 A current rating (IEC) and up to 250 mating cycles, with test current 4.5 A (UL/CSA) and test voltage up to 250 V (UL/CSA) or 32 V (IEC). The connector provides IP68 sealing, allowing operation in damp or washdown conditions, and maintains signal integrity with gold-plated solder contacts under vibration and temperature fluctuations.
Yes. Its IP68 rating, UV resistance, and salt spray endurance make it suitable for outdoor and exposed installations. It operates from -40 to 105 °C and uses a Neoprene insert with a plastic shell, delivering durable performance in automotive, agricultural, and municipal automation applications while preserving electrical integrity over time.
The connector carries UL 1977 and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 certifications, IEC 61984 compliance, and RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support electrical safety, environmental compliance, and suitability for regulated markets, helping you meet corporate and regulatory requirements in industrial equipment and control systems.
The rugged IP68/69K sealing, 250 mating cycles, and durable gold-plated contacts reduce maintenance intervals and repair downtime. The backshell for flexible conduit simplifies field wiring, lowers installation time, and improves harness reliability, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and higher line availability in continuous production environments.
