IP68/IP69k sealing provides superior ingress protection, reducing water and dust-related failures and lowering maintenance costs in outdoor and washdown environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Waterproof reliability translates to longer equipment life and less unscheduled downtime on conveyors and mobile machinery, where exposure to moisture is common. The 8-pin Crimp contact design supports compact power and signal delivery, delivering 10 A current capacity for actuators and sensors, which lowers connector count and simplifies wiring on automation panels. Application: conveyors, robotics, mobile equipment. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling enables quick mating and demating, cutting downtime during changeovers while maintaining high retention under vibration. Application: field service and autonomous lines. The backshell with Sealing Gland improves strain relief for 3–12 mm cables, reducing impact from cable movement in harsh environments. Application: rugged industrial installations. Operating between -40 and 105 C, the connector remains reliable from cold starts to hot production cycles. This broad range supports global deployments in automotive, food processing, and material handling. The eight male crimp contacts ensure robust mating cycles up to 250, delivering consistent performance over the product lifecycle. Application: high-vibration settings in heavy machinery. Compliance with UL 1977, CSA, and IEC 61984 further assures procurement teams of regulatory alignment, while its UV resistance and RoHS/REACH considerations address sustainability goals. These aspects collectively improve installation efficiency, traceability, and total cost of ownership for industrial systems.

FAQs
Plan for a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell and 3–12 mm cable diameter. Use the W orientation to ensure proper mating and rely on crimp contacts rated for 10 A. Maintain IP68 protection by following the backshell seal installation and verify the 66.7 mm length and 29.7 mm width/height fit in the enclosure. Expect up to 250 mating cycles with correct installation.
Current rating is 10 A IEC/UL, with a test current of 7 A CSA/IEC/UL. Voltage ratings include 80 V IEC and 500 V CSA/UL. The eight contacts are crimp type and the assembly supports 3–12 mm cable diameters, making it suitable for compact power and signal runs in automation panels.
Yes. It delivers IP68 protection (waterproof and dust-tight) and IP69K-rated sealing for demanding washdown or high-pressure environments. The backshell sealing gland and UV-resistant plastic help maintain performance over time, even in sunlight, oil exposure, or fluctuating temperatures typical of outdoor manufacturing or mining equipment.
The connector is aligned with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, ensuring compliance for electrical connectors in industrial equipment. It also carries a fire/smoke rating (I2F3 per NFF 16101/16102) and a UL94 V0 flammability rating, supporting safety and environmental requirements in global deployments.
With up to 250 mating cycles and a robust backshell design, maintenance intervals are extended and downtime is reduced during connector changes. The 8-pin, crimped configuration simplifies wiring, while the sealing gland backshell provides strain relief for 3–12 mm cables, contributing to lower rework costs and improved reliability on harsh-duty automation lines.
