IP68 protection and a sealing gland backshell deliver reliable moisture protection in exposed environments. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick mating and secure retention even in dusty or oily conditions. The 12-position layout with gold-plated solder cups ensures consistent signal and power integrity across all contacts, reducing field failures and rework in high-vibration lines. This connector is rated for up to 4 A current and up to 250 V, supporting mixed loads typical in automation panels while keeping heat generation manageable. Operating temperature ranges from -40 to 105 °C, enabling use in automotive, outdoor, and harsh industrial settings without compromising performance. The plastic shell, Neoprene insert, and UV resistance contribute to long service life across 250 mating cycles, while the 71.5 mm length and 34.4 × 34.6 mm footprint simplify panel integration and wiring harness routing. Compatibility with a 5–14 mm cable diameter and a straight plug orientation improves install-time efficiency and retrofit feasibility for existing lines. The 12-contact arrangement, with 12 cavities split as four of #16 and eight of #20, supports scalable signal and power distribution across complex automation networks.
