FAQs
Installation begins with selecting cables that fit the 1.5 to 6.5 mm diameter range and preparing the leads for solder Cup contacts. The backshell with sealing gland is threaded onto the plug and the cable is routed through the gland to maintain IP68 integrity. Finally, mate with the corresponding counterpart using the 1/3 Bayonet coupling for secure, watertight connection.
Its IP68 protection rating ensures ingress resistance against water and dust, while the Neoprene insert and sealing gland backshell provide reliable cable sealing. The connector operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and withstands vibrations per IEC 60512-4. With 7 A current rating and 250 mating cycles, it supports demanding automation tasks with long service life.
Yes. The unit is certified for IEC 61984 and UL 1977, with CSA C22.2 No. 182.3 recognition. It carries a 7 A rating under IEC, UL, and CSA guidelines, and complies with RoHS exemption 6.c. This ensures regulatory compliance across global markets and simplifies integration into certified electrical systems.
Best suited for outdoor automation, control panels, and mobile equipment exposed to damp or dusty conditions. The 3‑cavity plug supports sensor and actuator networks with gold-plated solder cups for reliable signal integrity. The compact footprint and Bayonet coupling speed up field maintenance, making it ideal for conveyors, robotic systems, and rugged machinery.
The combination of IP68/69k sealing, high mating cycles, and robust materials reduces maintenance frequency and downtime. With 250 mating cycles and a durable, corrosion-resistant contact design, the total cost of ownership declines as fewer field repairs are needed, while regulatory compliance minimizes requalification costs for equipment deployed in harsh environments.
