Feature IP68/69K protection with rugged plastic housing provides ingress protection and durability in washdown and outdoor environments, reducing field failures and warranty costs. Business impact: higher uptime and lower maintenance spend. Application: control cabinets, robotic cells, and outdoor machinery where exposure to water, oils, and dust is common. Feature 7 A current rating at up to 250 V enables compact power and signaling within a single connector, simplifying harnessing and reducing connector count. Business impact: improved efficiency in panel design and serviceability. Application: small drive enclosures and control panels where space is at a premium. Feature 1/3 bayonet coupling plus jam-nut receptacle design allows fast mating and secure retention, cutting installation time and ensuring consistent alignment. Business impact: faster commissioning and lower labor costs. Application: tight enclosures and field retrofits. Feature 3 PCB contacts with gold plating delivers low contact resistance and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. Business impact: reduces maintenance cycles and improves signal integrity. Application: PCB-mounted control circuits and sensor interfaces. Feature Operating temperature range -40 °C to 105 °C and resistance to oils, gasoline, acids, and UV exposure reinforces durability in harsh environments. Business impact: predictable performance across seasons and industrial processes. Application: automotive, processing, and heavy equipment environments. Feature Compact 25.3 mm depth and 24 mm width/height with 250 mating cycles supports compact assemblies without sacrificing durability. Business impact: enables tighter panel layouts and longer product life. Application: compact control panels and mobile equipment where space is limited.
