IP68/IP69K sealing with a backshell sealing gland protects the 18-position socket in unmated conditions, reducing ingress risk and maintenance frequency in washdown areas. This robust sealing translates to higher equipment uptime and lower service costs in food processing, outdoor machinery, and mining operations. Application: Ideal for wet production lines, outdoor equipment, and washdown-intensive processes. Feature: 1/3 bayonet coupling with a straight plug for quick, reliable mating. Business Impact: Speeds installation and reduces maintenance time, especially in tight spaces. Application: Used in automated control cabinets and portable machinery where speedy field connections matter. Feature: Gold-plated solder cup contacts across 18 circuits with 4 A UL and 5 A IEC ratings (plus 4 A CSA in testing). Business Impact: Ensures low contact resistance and robust signal integrity for complex harnesses. Application: Industrial automation, robotics, and multi-signal connectivity in demanding environments. Feature: Plastic shell with neoprene insert, UV resistant, operating range -40 °C to 105 °C. Business Impact: Maintains performance across temperature and sun exposure, reducing material degradation and replacement. Application: Outdoor installations, solar and outdoor packaging lines. Feature: 250 mating cycles, 14 shell size, RoHS exemption 6.c, and certifications UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3. Business Impact: Demonstrates durability and regulatory compliance, supporting trusted procurement. Application: Environments requiring lifecycle reliability and formal compliance.

FAQs
Installers should route cables through the backshell’s sealing gland, ensure cable diameter is within 5 to 14 mm, mate the 1/3 Bayonet coupling straight plug securely, and confirm the 18-contact layout aligns with the wiring harness. The IP68/69K rating protects against ingress and washdowns, reducing maintenance calls.
The connector carries 4 A UL and 5 A IEC ratings with test current of 4 A UL/IEC and 4 A CSA, and test voltage up to 250 V. Gold-plated solder cup contacts ensure signal integrity across 18 circuits, while the 71.5 mm length keeps wiring compact in crowded panels.
Yes. The IP68 rating, UV resistance, and wide operating temperature (-40 °C to 105 °C) make it suitable for outdoor automation, robotics, and packaging lines. The sealing gland backshell, neoprene insert, and corrosion-resistant plastic shell ensure durability in sun, rain, and vibrational environments.
The unit meets UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, validating safety and electrical performance in industrial settings. RoHS exemption 6.c ensures compliance with restricted substances, while IP68 protects against moisture and dust—critical for machinery exposed to washdowns and outdoor exposure.
With a mating cycle rating of 250, you can expect thousands of connections before rewiring or transplants become necessary, depending on use. Plan for periodic inspection of the backshell seals and cable glands, and stock replacement gold-plated sockets to minimize downtime during harness maintenance.
