Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68/69K waterproof plastics shell and straight backshell with conduit adapter deliver superior moisture protection, minimizing field failures and corrosion. This reduces maintenance costs and downtime in outdoor, wash-down, or harsh industrial settings, making it ideal for heavy equipment and outdoor machinery. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Eight gold-plated solder cup contacts provide low contact resistance and high corrosion resistance, ensuring stable power and signal transfer while extending component life. This supports reliable control panels, sensor arrays, and multi‑axis drives in automation lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rated 4.5 A UL and 6 A IEC with up to 32 V (IEC) and 250 V (UL/CSA) test voltage offers compatibility with low‑to‑medium power devices while meeting global safety standards, reducing redesigns and improving time‑to‑product. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight orientation (N) enable quick, secure mating and repeatable performance over 250 mating cycles, cutting assembly time and maintenance labour in OEM harness installs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating range from −40 to 105 °C and neoprene insert provide broad environmental tolerance, minimizing climate‑driven failures and allowing field deployment in extreme environments such as outdoors, mining, and chemical processing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA‑C22.2 No.182.3 compliance and RoHS exemption 6.c support global regulatory readiness, simplifying certification processes for worldwide deployments.
