IP68/69K protection is engineered to prevent moisture ingress and condensate build-up, translating to reduced field failures and minimized downtime in outdoor or mobile machinery. The 23-contact layout provides scalability for complex sensor and actuator networks, while the 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers quick mating and reliable retention in vibration-heavy environments. The backshell with sealing gland simplifies cable entry, aiding rapid installation and consistent sealing performance across installations. With 250 mating cycles and a durable polyamide insert, you gain predictable lifecycle performance and lower replacement costs in automation lines. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C and UV resistant, this connector maintains performance in extreme weather, while RoHS and REACH compliance support sustainability goals. The straight plug geometry, shell plastic construction, and 18-size shell promote compact integration in tight panels and cramped machinery housings, improving overall equipment efficiency and ease of service.
