High current capability meets industry needs for panel feeders and control circuits, delivering stable performance and reduced contact resistance in automated machinery. This improves overall system efficiency and reliability, enabling longer runtimes between maintenance cycles in demanding environments. The compact 65 mm length with a 50.5 mm height and 31.5 mm width provides a space-saving footprint for crowded electrical enclosures, reducing panel size and material costs while simplifying cable routing in automation projects. The 90° backshell with For Flexible Conduit supports quick, flexible installation and minimizes conduit strain, improving installation speed and field serviceability. Socket (Female) contacts with Layout A60 align with Souriau standards, easing mating and stock compatibility across assemblies. Black anodized plating and an aluminum shell offer corrosion resistance and durable performance in harsh environments, enhancing lifecycle reliability and reducing replacement frequency. Operating between -40 °C and 100 °C, plus 500-hour salt spray resistance, this connector is built for extreme industrial conditions, lowering total cost of ownership in aerospace, machinery, and process automation applications.
