IP68/69k protection in unmated conditions keeps harnesses dry during installation and reduces field failures. It provides a reliable ingress seal, enabling safer, faster maintenance in wet or dusty environments. The 4 gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver low contact resistance and strong corrosion resistance, improving signal integrity and extending service life in challenging applications. The 1/3 bayonet coupling offers quick mating with robust vibration resistance, minimizing downtime during assembly and field servicing. The backshell with a sealing gland simplifies cable entry, reducing leak paths and streamlining installation in cramped panels. With Neoprene insert material and a compact shell size of 8, the unit supports compact layouts in automation cabinets and mobile equipment. The operating range from −40 °C to 105 °C and ratings of 7 A at 250 V meet demanding industrial requirements while complying with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3. This combination delivers predictable performance, lower maintenance costs, and a clear ROI for panel builders and integrators.

FAQs
Mount the straight plug with the sealing gland backshell, choose a cable diameter between 1.5 and 6.5 mm, tighten the gland, and engage the 1/3 bayonet coupling until it clicks. Verify there is no ingress at the joint after mating.
The connector is rated for 7 A and 250 V with 4 gold-plated solder cup contacts. Use conductors sized to meet these limits and pair with compatible mating parts to maintain electrical performance and safety.
Yes. It exhibits UV resistance and remains functional after prolonged exposure. It is resistant to gasoline, mineral oil, and acid bath, reducing maintenance and replacement needs in tough environments.
It complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support regulatory compliance for electrical safety, product standards, and environmental requirements across global supply chains.
Mating cycles are rated at 250, indicating reliable wear performance. Regularly inspect seals and cables, replace damaged seals, and ensure correct cable preparation (1.5–6.5 mm diameter) to sustain performance and longevity.
