Feature: IP68/IP69K rated plastic jam nut receptacle with 12 PCB contacts and 1/3 bayonet coupling. Business Impact: Delivers reliable sealing in unmated and mated conditions, reducing water and dust ingress in harsh environments, which lowers field failures and maintenance costs. Application: Ideal for outdoor control cabinets, off‑shore equipment, and mobile machinery using 12‑pin PCB connections. Feature: 4 A current rating (IEC) and 4.5 A (UL) with a tested voltage up to 250 V. Business Impact: Supports common automation loads while maintaining safe operation margins, enabling fewer part variations and tighter stocking. Application: Power and signal lines in automation panels and sensor interfaces. Feature: 250 mating cycles and gold‑plated contacts. Business Impact: Improves long‑term connection reliability and lowers replacement intervals, boosting total cost of ownership in maintenance‑intensive installations. Application: Frequent field mating/demate scenarios such as modular automation racks. Feature: 12 contacts arranged in a 12‑position layout with a 34.9 mm width/height and 25.3 mm depth; neoprene insert; aluminium nut. Business Impact: Compact footprint with robust construction simplifies panel design and assures consistent mating alignment, reducing assembly time. Application: Dense PCB mounting in control modules and I/O interfaces. Feature: UV resistance, basic environmental resistance and industrial compliance (CSA, IEC, UL). Business Impact: Supports outdoor and harsh‑environment deployments while meeting regulatory requirements, which accelerates qualification and batch acceptance. Application: Outdoor machinery housings, weather‑exposed control gear, and rugged sensing nodes. Feature: No backshell option, jam nut receptacle, with X orientation. Business Impact: Enables clean, minimalistic mounting where backshells are unnecessary or to reduce cost, while still preserving IP65+ and sealing performance. Application: Slimline panel assemblies and retrofit projects where space is at a premium.

FAQs
Installation starts with selecting the jam nut receptacle and ensuring the panel cutout matches the shell size and mounting nut. Tighten the aluminium nut to achieve IP68 sealing, aligned with the 1/3 bayonet coupling. Use the 14‑size shell to ensure proper surface finish and mating alignment. Verify insert material (neoprene) and 12‑pin layout for correct contact seating and reliability.
Consider a 4 A current rating (IEC) with 4.5 A UL, and a test voltage of up to 250 V. The 12 gold‑plated PCB contacts deliver low contact resistance, supporting reliable signal and power transmission. Ensure operating temperature range of -40 to 105 °C is suitable for your environment, and plan for up to 250 mating cycles in service life estimates.
Yes. It features IP68 protection in unmated conditions and UV resistance with exposure tolerance up to 105 °C. The plastic shell and neoprene insert provide durable sealing against dust, water, and chemical exposure, making it appropriate for outdoor controls, rugged machinery, and washdown facilities that require reliable long‑term performance.
The connector complies with IEC 61984 and UL 1977, along with CSA‑C22.2 No.182.3. RoHS exemptions are also noted. These certifications support regulatory approvals for control panels and equipment used in North American and international markets, reducing compliance time in project qualification and supplier audits.
With 250 mating cycles and gold‑plated contacts, the connector provides durable, corrosion‑resistant connections that reduce maintenance frequency and contact resistance drift. The IP68/69K sealing minimizes ingress during washdowns or damp conditions, lowering downtime and replacement costs, while the compact design supports denser panel layouts and faster field retrofits.
