IP68/69K waterproofing offers robust ingress protection, minimizing downtime in washdown and outdoor environments, which directly reduces maintenance costs and increases line uptime in automated processes. The 10 gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver reliable conductivity with corrosion resistance, improving long-term electrical performance and reducing signal loss in harsh settings. A straight plug with 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick, tool-free mating, lowering installation time and labor costs during panel wiring and field servicing. The backshell with sealing gland provides a secure, sealed interface that maintains performance in vibration and exposure to liquids, translating to fewer field failures and safer equipment operation. Cabling flexibility is enhanced by a 3–12 mm cable diameter range and neoprene insert, supporting diverse harness configurations while maintaining IP68 integrity. With a temperature range of -40 to 105 °C and a mating cycle life of 250, this connector suits heavy-use automation, packaging, and process-line equipment, delivering predictable performance and total-cost-of-ownership benefits. The 66.7 mm length, 29.7 mm width, and 29.7 mm height keep it compact for dense panel layouts while preserving easy access for maintenance personnel.
