Waterproof IP68/69K sealing paired with an 18-cavity layout protects signals and power under vibration, oil exposure, and wash-down environments. This translates into reduced maintenance costs and fewer unplanned outages for outdoor equipment, conveyors, and mobile machinery. The 1/3 bayonet coupling with a straight plug streamlines installation and mating, cutting field assembly time and improving harness integrity in tight spaces. Gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver low contact resistance and excellent corrosion resistance, even when exposed to mineral oil or gasoline in industrial settings, reducing voltage drop and ensuring consistent performance across cycles. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 105 °C, enabling broad climate tolerance for outdoor automation and harsh-environment applications. Mating cycles of 250 support long service life, while the backshell for flexible conduit simplifies routing and reduces installation steps. Compliance features, including UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and ROHS exemption, streamline regulatory alignment for your industrial projects.
