FAQs
To maximize sealing integrity, use the backshell with the sealing gland, ensure the cable diameter sits within 1.5 to 6.5 mm, and mount the straight plug in the N orientation. Confirm 3 gold-plated solder cup contacts are properly seated and that the mating cycle target of up to 250 is respected through secure lever engagement. Proper assembly plus a clean, debris-free environment preserves IP68/69K protection in demanding settings.
Yes. The connector complies with IEC 61984 and UL 1977, and is listed under CSA-related standards with RoHS exemption 6.c. For complete certification details, please consult the datasheet and verify the exact regional compliance requirements for your project.
The unit provides a 7 A rating per IEC/UL/CSA and features three gold-plated solder cup contacts in a 3-cavity layout. It is designed for a maximum test voltage of 250 V (UL/CSA) and accommodates compact, high-reliability power and signal connections in automation hardware.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers fast, tool-free mating with strong resistance to vibration and misalignment. This reduces installation time, improves reliability in dirty or dynamic environments, and simplifies field maintenance by enabling quick disconnection when cabling needs to be reworked.
With a mating cycle rating of 250, plan for periodic inspection or replacement after extended use in aggressive environments. The combination of IP68/69K sealing, UV resistance, and mineral oil resistance supports long service life, while RoHS compliance helps minimize material-related regulatory concerns in ongoing maintenance programs.
