IP68/69K sealing and rugged plastic housing minimize water, dust, and oil ingress, reducing field failures and maintenance costs while enabling reliable operation in outdoor or submerged environments. This translates to improved uptime for conveyors, robotics, and outdoor machinery, delivering measurable total cost of ownership reductions. The 4-position, gold-plated solder cup contacts provide solid signal integrity and corrosion resistance, supporting critical sensors and actuators in busy automation panels. The 1/3 bayonet coupling simplifies mating and disconnection, accelerating assembly time and minimizing tool requirements in constrained cabinets. The straight plug and backshell for flexible conduit offer installation flexibility and organized wiring in tight spaces, accelerating commissioning and reducing the risk of miswiring. Operating from -40 to 105 °C and UV resistant, this connector remains reliable across harsh climates, helping plants meet industrial environmental standards. With 250 mating cycles and a shell size of 12, it balances longevity with compact form, lowering replacement frequency. RoHS exemption 6.c, UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 compliance support regulatory requirements while the neoprene insert enhances environmental resistance to oils and mineral fluids. The connector is crafted to resist salt spray for demanding outdoor environments, aligning with marine and offshore automation needs while enabling straightforward conduit integration.

FAQs
Install with the 1/3 bayonet coupling, route wires through the backshell designed for flexible conduit, and use the included conduit adapter. Ensure the plug is fully mated to achieve IP68 sealing and verify gold-plated solder cups for secure signal contact. Follow manufacturer torque and mating guidelines to maximize lifecycle performance.
The connector supports 10 A per UL and 16 A per IEC, with a voltage rating of 300 V IEC (and 500 V for CSA/UL contexts). It is designed for four contacts and solder Cup terminations, providing reliable performance for sensors and actuators in automation systems.
Yes. The design includes a neoprene insert and environmental resistance to mineral oil and oil exposure, with additional durability against acid and oil baths, making it suitable for equipment where oil spray or immersion is possible.
It complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemption 6.c, aligning with safety, interoperability, and environmental requirements for industrial equipment.
Mating cycles are rated at 250, with operating temperatures from -40 to 105 °C. The product resists UV exposure, oil, and basic bath chemicals, and maintains IP68 sealing for rugged, long-term deployments in outdoor or harsh industrial settings.
