IP68/IP69K sealing with a sealing gland backshell provides moisture and dust protection, reducing downtime in outdoor enclosures and washdown environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs and higher equipment availability in industries such as mining, water treatment, and outdoor automation. The 5 contacts (3 x #16, 2 x #8 power) deliver compact power and signal distribution within a single plug, saving panel footprint and simplifying harness routing for faster assembly and fewer wiring errors in harsh environments. A mating cycle rating of 250 supports frequent connections, extending service life and lowering replacement intervals for robotics, conveyors, and rugged mobile equipment. Operating temperatures from -40 to 105 °C ensure reliable performance in extreme climates, improving uptime in cold storage, foundries, and outdoor installations. Current ratings of 32 A IEC, 34 A CSA, and 44 A UL, with appropriate voltage ratings, provide design confidence for drives, sensors, and control circuits, while 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight backshell streamline installation in tight spaces and maintenance access.
