Feature IP68/69K sealing provides robust protection against water, dust, and oil, reducing field failures and service calls. Business Impact This translates to lower downtime and longer equipment life in washdown environments and outdoor installations. Application Ideal for automation cabinets, packaging lines, and outdoor machinery where reliability under moisture exposure is critical. Feature Eight female crimp contacts in a compact 32.3 mm depth enable a high-density, eight-position plug connection with minimal footprint. Business Impact This improves harness density and simplifies assembly, reducing material costs and labor time. Application Use in control panels and sub-assemblies where space is at a premium. Feature 1/3 bayonet coupling with straight plug allows rapid mating and secure retention even in tight spaces. Business Impact Speeds field wiring and maintenance while ensuring consistent electrical performance. Application Typical in robotics, conveyor systems, and mobile equipment that require fast, repeatable connections. Feature -40 °C to 105 °C operating range and 250 mating cycles demonstrate durability in extreme industrial conditions. Business Impact Extends service life in harsh climates and high-vibration environments, lowering replacement frequency and total cost of ownership. Application Suitable for offshore, mining, and automotive-related equipment exposed to temperature swings. Feature 10 A current rating and 500 V test voltage support reliable power delivery for medium-load circuits. Business Impact Enables safe, compliant performance across automation tasks without overdesign. Application Ideal for motor feeders, sensor/actuator circuits, and control wiring. Feature UV resistance, oil resistance, and salt spray durability (500 hours) ensure long-term viability in outdoor or industrial washdown settings. Business Impact Reduces maintenance intervals and improves uptime in harsh facilities. Application Critical for outdoor SCADA, wind/solar attachment equipment, and harsh manufacturing floors. Feature Polyamide insert and plastic shell deliver light weight and corrosion resistance with strong mechanical integrity. Business Impact Supports easier handling and installation while meeting RoHS and flammability requirements. Application Suitable for high-vibration environments and long-term field use in automation gear.
